energy efficiency

Did you know that owning a Touchstone Energy® Home can save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs each year? Because of its region-specific insulation standards, high-efficiency electric heat pump and electric water heater, the Touchstone Energy® Home slashes heating and cooling bills.

When building your new home, it is important to create a tight seal that does not allow outside air to penetrate the building's interior. While natural ventilation is important to maintain indoor air quality, too much air infiltration is like throwing money out the window each month when you pay your utility bill. Dubois REC has the capability of measuring this airflow by performing a blower door test. The blower door is a diagnostic tool that helps locate and measure air leaks in a building.
