Bernstein Development's commitment to energ y eff iciency runs deep, from use of clean-burning natural gas to the latest air-sealing materials and techniques and the most advanced insulation tactics. "Our projects get the roya l treatment as far as energ y efficiency is concerned," David says. "For example, we prefer tape -sea led, zip s ystem ex t er ior sheat h i n g , 100 percent foam insulation from basement to roof and high-end mechanical units to provide the most energy and cost savings for the homeowner. Our homes are Energy- Sta r qua lif ied, with 96 percent eff icient furnaces, tankless hot water heaters and energ y recover y vent i lat or s for proper air quality management. We insulate the entire structural envelope to the perimeter, so that all mechanical systems, duct work and air filtration components are lodged internally, greatly enhancing the e‰ciency of the home."
