Energy Star; helpful memory joggers as it relates to buying FHT modular homes:
R-21 insulation in the walls; R-38 insulation in the ceilings; standards in FHT building specifications for high end energy savings relating to heating and cooling.
- Bath fan with auto timer; 100 CFM Fan/Light combination for constant air flow. Standard with our building specifications.
- Energy star lighting fixtures can be obtained as an option; Fixtures with special energy efficient bulbs (pin type).
- FHT caulking at plates and panel intersections for air leakage makes the home energy star air-tight. Currently, FHT caulks around receptacles, switches, windows, doors, and light fixture boxes.
- Ultimately, our modular homes are energy star compliant providing the builder adheres to local energy star requirements at the job site. Also, when ordering a home that is expected to obtain federal and state energy credits, energy compliance must be indicated to FHT upfront so your inspector can review our energy building processes in our plant.
