Prefabricated Components

 

Factory-built components including trusses and prehung doors allow more efficient use of raw materials, making

the most out of every piece of lumber. These products eliminate the need to cut wood at the jobsite, further

reducing waste.

 

 

Energy Efficiency

 

The energy efficiency of refrigerators and freezers has tripled over the last three decades because they have

more insulation, advanced compressors, better door seals and more accurate temperature controls. Front-loading

washers use about 40% less water and half the energy of conventional models. Energy Star®-rated appliances

save an average of 30 percent over standard models.
