Resource-efficient Features

The home size, floor plan and orientation on the lot take advantage of natural daylight to reduce lighting needs and use strategies to reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. Whenever possible, renewable and recycled-content materials are used in the home.

Planned features of the WI Trend Home 2010 in this category include…

  • 24'-on-center stack framing, utilizing less lumber and increasing the insulation factor
  • Green flooring products throughout the home
