Stanton Homes® and Healthy Home Insulation
Work Together for Guaranteed Energy Savings
RALEIGH, N.C. - Stanton Homes® is pleased to announce a surge in requests for new homes that include green options, with 3 out of 4 expressing great interest in Energy Wise heating, cooling, and insulation systems. Energy Wise has become an integral part of the nationally acclaimed Stanton Homes® for Heroes program, in partnership with Healthy Home Insulation.
"We're seeing a tremendous amount of interest in the value this product brings to our new homes," said Stan Williams, CEO of Stanton Homes®. "Our partnership with Healthy Home Insulation and the Energy Wise program enables military families to take advantage of some real bargains, with the knowledge that they're also doing the right thing for our environment and their health."
Stanton Homes® for Heroes is one of the largest military and veteran programs in the nation, with more than ten service partners working together to support active and retired local troops. Stanton Homes® offers a 3% discount on any home they build for military families, along with special services such as Specially Adapted Housing through the Veteran Affairs office, and accessible homes and features.
The Stanton Homes® for Heroes program was created to recognize and salute veterans and military throughout the country, in tribute to the millions of Americans who have served this country, including Williams' own family members and friends who have served in Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, and WWII; in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force branches of the Armed Forces. 
"We are very excited about the Energy Wise system that's going into our new Stanton Home," said Navy veteran Ryland Page, whose new home is nearing completion. "Energy Wise really appeals to us because it is so thorough and balanced. Rather than adding a few random upgrades, it is an engineered system. It starts by addressing all three modes of heat transmission in and around the home, from caulking to resist convection, Energy Wise closed cell Bayseal foam to resist convection and conduction, and heat rejecting windows to resist radiation. The system is really amazing - incorporating local climate data and solar exposure, and calculating the structure's heat load so well that it was able to guarantee the costs to run the HVAC equipment it has specified for the house."
"We are pleased at the opportunity to partner with Healthy Home Insulation," said Williams. "A healthy environment is something we strive for, together, working with families to determine their exact needs and factor the benefits and drawbacks of each type of insulation."
Ryland and his wife Kelly carefully researched every part o f their home construction, and worked with Stanton Homes® and Healthy Home Insulation to make decisions based on their desires to have a healthy, economically efficient, environmentally responsible home.
"We chose Stanton Homes® primarily because of their knowledge of the VA's Specially Adapted Housing requirements, and the Stanton Homes® for Heroes program. We found out about Energy Wise while planning the home," said Page. "They are a pleasure to work with and our house is turning out great. These guys really do support the troops."
Stanton Homes® partnership with Healthy Home Insulation and Energy Wise enables the builder to include green qualifications in its new homes, along with a ten percent cost savings to military families, on top of the significant savings already offered through the Stanton Homes® for Heroes program and its additional building partnerships.
"Healthy Home Insulation wants to offer the healthiest home possible with the absolute best systems on the market," said Tu Nguyen, CEO of Healthy Home Insulation. "We strongly believe that the Energy Wise system offers exactly that. Between the engineered HVAC system and the Bayseal foam insulation, we're fully confident about the 50-70% savings guarantee we're able to offer homeowners. This kind of savings makes a big difference in today's economy, particularly as energy costs continue to rise."
Energy Wise use a systems approach to heating and cooling a home. It starts with a careful review of the blueprints, window sizes and types, and room dimensions. The HVAC system is precisely calculated. Bayseal foam insulation is used to fill every crack and crevice, then extensive caulking is added to prevent any air leakage.
"Our ecology-minded buyers like the Pages are telling us that their first concern is the environment, and the second is the growing cost of energy," said Williams. "When they find out that an Energy Wise home offers a written guarantee of 50-70% cost savings on heating and cooling over any standard home, and uses fewer natural resources, they get excited."
"Energy Wise's systemic approach to the entire structure made their claims of significant energy savings compelling to us," said Ryland.
Healthy Home Insulation has years of experience with spray foam insulation, and a dedication to providing quality products and services.
"After obtaining my degree in mechanical engineering, I spent 12 years as a Senior Engineer for several oil companies," said Nguyen. "I saw first-hand the alarming global increase in fuel demands. Energy Wise and spray foam insulation is an extremely viable solution to alleviating our dependence on fossil fuel, while improving our health and protecting the environment for future generations."
Healthy Home Insulation and Stanton Homes® both offer free, personal consultations to discuss specific energy requirements for every home, with a precise cost benefit analysis of any floor plan. Healthy Home Insulation's reputation for quality and responsiveness led HHI to become the first Raleigh area insulation company selected by Energy Wise to offer their system.
"We looked into green building products and techniques and compared them with standard options," said Page. "Energy Wise provides a service for something we feel is very important to include in our new home. The projected energy savings should pay for it in just a few years, and the rest is gravy. "
"Energy Wise is really a hit with homebuyers," said Williams. "It's a very compelling product that insulates every facet of a home's thermal envelope - and then leverages the HVAC system to optimally manage it, with the ability to guarantee metering savings."
