Less Energy Use Means Cost Savings and a Healthier Home

Energy Efficiency & ComfortIndividual HERS (Home Energy Rating System) ScoreOur EnergySmart homes are certified to exceed the standards for energy efficient.The Home Energy Rating System was established to provide a standard formeasuring a home’s energy efficiency. The HERS Index Score compares one hometo others of the same size and shape, with separate scores for the comparison tonew and resale homes. The lower the HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is. An independent, third-party conducts the inspection to ensure air barriers andinsulation packages are installed correctly.

Improved Thermal SystemsRegent’s EnergySmart homes use R-15 wall insulation and R-44 attic insulation, properly installed, to minimize voids and gaps. High thermal properties (R-value) increase energy efficiency.

LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Roof SheathingLP® TechShield® sheathing features a thin, durable layer of aluminum laminated to LP OSB roof sheathing, creating aradiant barrier that blocks up to 97% of radiant heat transfer.ENERGY STAR®-certified LP TechShield is proven to reduce your air conditioning bills by 17% and lowers attic

temperatures by as much as 30%.

Low-E 71/38 Windows with Vinyl FramesClimaGuard 71/38 residential window glass is engineered to significantly reduce solar heat gain, and damaging radiation without sacrificing clear views and daylight.ClimaGuard 71/38 blocks up to 50% more unwanted solar energy than standard clearglass, and up to 40% more than dark-tinted glass. This results in lower air conditioningexpenses and a more comfortable living environment. ClimaGuard 71/38 residential window glass also blocks nearly twice as much harmful UV rays as clear glass, extending the life of woodwork, carpets, and furnishings, while still allowing plenty of natural sunlight to brighten interior spaces.

Tight ConstructionRegent Homes uses advanced framing tech-niques to increase energy efficiency and insulationeffectiveness.

House WrapThe Fortifiber® Moisture Control System is theindustry’s most comprehensive weatherproofingsystem. This house wrap protects against drafts,outside noise, and moisture accumulation that canlead to mold, mildew, and structural problems.

Passive Attic VentilationSoffit vents and adequate roof venting provide proper, even ventilation across the entireattic area, helping to keep the attic cooler.

Right-sized Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC)We size the HVAC systems (including sealed air ducts) to fit the size and style of yourhome, which enhances the efficiency.

Minimum 14 SEER HVACA higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) equates to a more efficient system.EnergySmart homes are equipped with 14 SEER HVAC equipment and use refrigerantwith no chloride, which is friendlier to the environment. We apply R-8 insulation on allductwork in unconditioned spaces to provide another layer of protection against energywaste.

Energy-efficient LightingLED bulbs are installed in 100% of the fixtures and all recessed lighting. All ceiling fansare ENERGY STAR®-qualified.

Energy-efficient AppliancesEvery home is equipped with only ENERGY STAR®-labeled appliances—refrigerators,dishwasher, ranges, and efficient water heaters—to contribute to energy conservationand lower utility bills.
