Hello Dude,
New homes that are being built right now are using many methods and materials. One main feature that is installed in a home that has an energy star rating is the type of insulation that is used to hold heat or cool air inside your home. This insulation is installed in the floors of your home, the walls, and the attic of your house so that your heating and air units are not constantly running and trying to keep your home at a consistent temperature. Insulation is very important when it comes to keeping your house at a constant temperature. Thanks for sharing it.......
This insulation you're talking about, why is it Energy Star?
