How Does Marlette Meet ENERGY STAR?

Tight Construction and Ducts

Advanced techniques for sealing holes and cracks in the home’s “envelope” and in heating and cooling ducts help reduce drafts, moisture, dust, pollen, pests, and noise. A tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality while lowering utility and maintenance costs. All Marlette homes have the in-floor ducts to eliminate pests and waste entering the ducts carrying air into your home.

Effective Insulation

Properly installed and inspected insulation in floors, walls, and attics ensures even temperatures throughout the house, while using less energy. The result is lower utility costs and a quieter, more comfortable home.

Efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment

An energy-efficient, properly installed heating and cooling system uses less energy to operate, which reduces your utility bills. This system can also be quieter, reduce indoor humidity, and improve the overall comfort of your home. All Marlette ducting. Certified Premium Efficiency Ducts = built-in efficiency and comfort

Ours Others

Engineered for homeowner's comfort, the certified In-Floor Loop Cross-Over Heating and Cooling System provides more evenly balanced air flow to every room - full thickness insulation batt insure the best in energy efficiency.

Some other manufacturers have non-Certified, less efficient single cross-over systems, making it difficult to heat and cool a home evenly.

The Certified ducts are protected within the floor structure against the elements and rodents. This self-contained unit is a guard against varmint waste.

Most other manufacturers have heating and cooling flex ducts outside the home. This non-Certified, less efficient system exposes the flex duct to surrounding air and leaves it prone to energy loss from the outside elements and damaging effects of harsh weather.

Low Emissive Windows

Energy-efficient windows employ advanced technologies, such as protective coatings and improved frame assemblies, to help keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer. These windows also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furnishings.

Efficient Products

Your home may also be equipped with ENERGY STAR qualified products—lighting fixtures, compact fluorescent bulbs, ventilation fans, and appliances—that offer additional energy savings.

Independent Testing

While it's easy to claim that homes are energy efficient, ENERGY STAR builder partners back that up with verification by an independent Home Energy Rater. The Rater conducts onsite inspections and testing to verify the performance of the energy efficiency features in your home.
