When building a new home, it’s important to think about energy efficiency early on in the process. While it’s possible to make retrofit upgrades, it’s often much more costly and difficult to complete once a home is already built. It’s also important to work with a contractor that is knowledgeable and experienced with current energy codes and insulation for all types of new builds.
