 An energy-efficient home simply defined is the sealing of the building envelope to prevent warm air from getting out and cold air from getting in. It is important to us to meet the challenge of the Montana environment and to use construction techniques that accomplish this goal. 
Insulated concrete forms, stress-skin panels or conventionally framed exterior walls with advanced insulation techniques are some of the options Cherry Homes utilizes to increase the thermal value of the structure and prevent heat loss. Penetrations to the outside are sealed up and the house is wrapped in an air-barrier material. The benefit of a tight home is a quiet, thermally stable environment that can substantially reduce your energy bills.
To ensure a healthy interior environment for the occupants of the home we provide a fresh air ventilation system that removes the accumulation of interior pollutants such as formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, radon, moisture vapor, and cooking odors. Through publications and research we keep abreast of advancing technologies and techniques in the building industry to supplement the time honored tried and true methods. In this regard, we make every effort to assure your comfort and health. Design/Build Process | Picture Gallery | Finding Your Land | Contact Us | Links info@montanahomebuilder.com |
