N.C. Energy Smart Builder Home Run!

 

When a loyal Energy Smart Builder “knocks one of our homes out-of-the-park,” we’re happy and excited to offer our congratulations. This is especially true of the deserving builder, Charles Dees, owner of Riverbanks Construction in New Bern, North Carolina.

His very first Energy Smart Home scored an amazingly low 43 HERS! Truth be told, it’s the best verified performance we’ve seen of any builder’s first attempt at building a hi-performance home from one of our plans. It gets even better…

With hundreds of homes built from our designs, we’re aware of only two that scored a lower HERS. (Excluding true Net-Zero Energy Homes with Solar PV and Solar Hot Water.) What makes such incredible performance possible? Mr. Dees simply builds his homes true to our ESHP specs. Of all the hi-performance measures contained in our plans, Charles understands that placing the Ducts in Conditioned Space, is essential to such remarkable success. So, Riverbanks Construction* customers can rightfully claim they have the lowest energy costs available.

Thank you Charles Dees for building such a great looking home, a modification of the popular Ashton, Plan #103! We know your homeowners are completely thrilled with your superior construction and they could not be happier with their remarkably low energy costs. Happily surprised too, we bet!
