Local Builder Makes Energy Efficiency A Priority
 
Prompted by spiraling energy costs and environmental concerns, many people have placed a new emphasis on minimizing energy use. A good place to start, according to Izzy of Capital Home Builders & Developers Inc., is at home. Heating, lighting and cooling, not to mention food storage and cooking, all take energy.

"Buildings now use about half the nation's energy," Izzy said. Fortunately, there are approaches to new home construction that can lower that figure without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
 
"Many of the building techniques and systems that reduce energy usage can more than pay for themselves," Izzy said. "Energy-saving steps that add, perhaps, $150 to the monthly mortgage payment could well save the homeowner $250 a month in utility bills."
 
Making a structure more energy efficient can also reduce some construction costs. As an example, Izzy said better insulation can allow a builder to use smaller, less costly heating and cooling systems.
 
Energy Star has urged the construction industry to build more energy-efficient homes for years, Izzy said.

And while many builders in the South Georgia are are not incorporating advanced techniques in their designs, Izzy has gone a step further. He tests each home to certify that it achieves a higher performance level.
