Idaho Truss and
ENERGY STARR
As energy costs continue to rise, heating and cooling of homes and other buildings becomes increasingly important because it consumes a higher portion of an owners budget than ever. That's the bad news.
The good news is that progressive and forward-thinking builders are always pushing the envelope to find new ways to offer products that give their customers the lowest possible cost of ownership.
If a building is ENERGY STAR compliant, it means that the builder has invested extra time and effort in choosing design and construction techniques, construction materials and appliances, and has produced a structure that will have lower heating and cooling costs, and make efficient use of limited natural resources. To learn more about what ENERGY STAR means, go to www.energystar.gov . This website is a comprehensive guide to ENERGY STAR requirements and advantages, and it will also show a complete list of ENERGY STAR builders in your area.
Idaho Truss and the rest of the InteFrame network provide a natural advantage to builders that wish to achieve ENERGY STAR compliance because we can ensure that the ADVANCED FRAMING techniques used in ENERGY STAR buildings are part of the design of the building, and that none of that design intent is lost in translation when the framing starts. The natural continuity in terms of building design, component design and installation that comes with using the InteFrame process is a huge advantage to any builder who wants to improve on standard framing practices.
Idaho Truss is an ENERGY STAR PARTNER, which is part of its commitment to helping builders in their efforts to create a market advantage for their businesses and to be a part of more efficient use of our natural resources. If you would like to make ENERGY STAR part of your marketing plan, and would like to make sure that your framing is predictably executed in accordance with ENERGY STAR design, every time, Idaho Truss and the InteFrame network are the perfect partners.
