birdhouseJust about everything. But here are some big differences...

Environments For Living® Gold/Platinum Level Program

The Environments For Living program provides a rigorous set of requirements for home builders who’ve made a commitment to go the extra mile. It’s a program that treats a home as a “system of systems” that work together, with limited guarantees on comfort and heating and cooling energy use. A home built under the Environments For Living program is an energy-efficient home that has been constructed using the principles of building science — each home offers energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and durability benefits.

Environments For Living Guaranteed Energy Savings

Each home that closes will be given a certificate that indicates the average yearly maximum energy usage for heating and air conditioning (only) to be guaranteed by Environments For Living. This will vary based on the size, number of windows, etc. per home.

Vinyl Double Pane Windows with Low-E Glass

Our Environments For Living Program offers vinyl double pane windows with Low-E glass, proven to be more resistant to heat gain and heat loss, enhancing the windows thermal performance giving you even higher energy efficiency.

Home Energy Rating System (HERS®)

The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET®) that measures the energy performance of a home, and is used to compare the relative energy efficiency of different homes. The lower your home’s HERS Index, the more energy-efficient it is. A David Weekley EnergySaver Home in Jacksonville averages a 67 on the HERS Index!

Third-Party Inspections

The more eyes, the better. Unbiased inspections are performed on your wall insulation, thermal envelope and HVAC duct work prior to drywall installation. As part of the inspection process, your home will receive an Environments For Living energy audit which utilizes a thermal bypass inspection, a duct blaster and blower door test. The duct blaster test is performed on your HVAC’s ductwork before drywall is installed to verify duct leakage is equal to or less than 3%, one of the key components ensuring your home qualifies for Environments For Living Energy-Efficient Certification. A blower door test is done after drywall is installed to check the tightness of the home.
