HiLine Homes recognizes the significance of energy efficiency not only in terms of environmental sustainability but also as a means to provide long-term cost savings and comfort for homeowners. The decision to utilize a blow-in wall insulation system over traditional batted insulation reflects their commitment to staying at the forefront of innovative Construction practices.

By incorporating advanced insulation techniques, HiLine Homes not only aims to exceed industry standards but also to provide homeowners with residences that are not only environmentally responsible but also economically beneficial. The investment in energy-efficient technologies aligns with a broader commitment to sustainable building practices, allowing homeowners to enjoy reduced utility costs, increased comfort, and a lower carbon footprint over the lifespan of their homes.

A well-Insulated home needs less energy to heat in the winter and less energy to cool in the summer. It is a very important component of an energy-efficient home. Why does HiLine Homes do this when many other builders only use batted insulation?

Why Use Blown-In Wall Insulation?

Blow-in wall insulation fills in all gaps and voids in your walls and provides the highest attainable R-value in a wall.  There are many benefits of a blow-in insulation system, including higher R-values, superior sound control, and reduced air infiltration which will significantly improve the energy efficiency of your home.

1. Good insulation, properly installed, is your primary defense against growing energy costs.
2. It is the simplest and most cost-effective way to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
3. According to the E.P.A., it also saves over 600 times more energy each year than all the compact fluorescent lights, Energy Star appliances, and Energy Star windows combined.

The concept of energy efficiency is simple:  “Less Energy to Provide the Same Services.”

In order to test the airtightness of your home, professional energy auditors will use a Blower Door Test. For this test, a large fan is mounted in the frame of an Exterior door. The fan then withdraws air from the home, causing the air pressure inside the house to drop. Measurements of the rate of change of the air pressure can be used to calculate how airtight your home is.

For instance, if the air pressure in the home stays relatively high, it’s an indicator that you have drafts and air leakage, which work against your home’s insulation. At HiLine Homes, we ensure that every home we build not only meets but surpasses, energy code requirements in airtightness. Let’s take a look at what high marks on the blower door test mean to you.

Air leakage in your HiLine home will be very low. Because each home we build is incredibly well insulated, heating and cooling systems will be able to work at peak efficiency, saving you money.

Because drafts as air leaks are eliminated, you can rest assured that moisture is not entering your home through gaps in insulation. This will ensure that your home is incredibly resistant to moisture-condensation problems, and mold.

You won’t be bothered by uncomfortable drafts.

Air filtration systems will be able to do a better job of keeping the indoor air quality inside your home high and filtering out particulate matter.

Remember, at HiLine Homes, all of the homes we build significantly exceed energy code requirements. With your HiLine home, you’ll be happy that you invested in energy-efficient construction. Contact us to learn more about the ways that HiLine Homes meets and surpasses energy code requirements.
