Advanced technology for more comfortable energy-efficient living

Your Comfort Home is the result of planning, engineering and quality construction. Every Comfort Home is unique. Through partnership with Comfort Home Corporation at the earliest design stage, your builder can provide a home that assures you of

• Year-round comfort
• Lower energy usage
• Consistent comfort levels throughout your home

As a result of extensive research, your home's heating and cooling system and special energy-saving construction meet specific standards for its exact layout and location.

It takes more than extra insulation to provide the peace of mind your Comfort Home offers. Think of it as "whole-house" energy technology. Federally-funded research and actual test studies prove that this special technology is the most cost-effective way to reduce energy usage and assure maximum, consistent comfort in your new home.

Your Comfort Home is the result of research and extensive tracking studies. The Comfort Home program applies this research to specific heat loss/heat gain calculations for your home. With your builder, we then set exact mechanical system and construction requirements, including tightness of the shell and insulation values. We analyze all energy-draining variables at the earlies design stage.

Like a fine orchestra, every component of the home that could have the slightest effect on comfort and energy usage is tuned to work in harmony. Where necessary, we change design and specifications to improve performance and comfort.

The advantage of this process is simple. Unlike conventional homes, where various subcontractors with different levels of expertise build and install separate components, a Comfort Home is built under a single, exacting set of standards. These standards are agreed to between Comfort Home Corp. and your builder before construction begins.

During construction, Comfort Home technicians analyze and monitor what takes shape as a whole-house system. The objective is to build your home correctly from the outset, not fix flaws later on. Comfort Home technicians reduce convective losses, seal all penetrations of the thermal envelope, and evaluate and maximize the efficiency of all duct systems.

Your Comfort Home is unique because of the attention to detail throughout the design and construction.

Once your home is completed, Comfort Home applies state-of-the-art technology to test the entire system. Your home is analyzed for maximum thermal efficiency and comfort.

• Infrared thermography helps verify "insulation integrity" and reduce convective energy losses.
• Blower doors help detect excessive air leakage.
• Smoke tracers and sensitive monitoring equipment help prevent energy loss through infiltration and ductwork -- together accounting for up to 50% of the energy loss in a typical home.

Once these conditions are met exactly as established at the design stage, the home is awarded the Comfort Home Warranty. It's your assurance that it meets our standards for a comfortable, energy-efficient home.
