Winnetka Continues to Build Air Tight Homes!
Since Winnetka mplemented the Illinois Energy Conservation Code which requires blower door testing, Priority Energy has been the leading testing company in the area when it comes to blower door and duct testing.
Winnetka was a little slower to adopt the Illinois Energy Conservation Code and all it’s requirements, however many of the area the builders have embraced the air tightness requirements, building tight homes since we first started testing. Many builders have worked with Priority Energy to tighten their homes over time. Many of the areas builders have chosen to work with Priority Energy to not only perform blower door testing for them, they have also worked with us to help them find ways to improve the homes they are building.
The average for Winnetka home has hovered at 3.2 ACH50, but please take a look at how Winnetka test results have evolved over time, and as always we like to give credit where credit is due – we will be on the look out for Winnetka tightest homes. Currently that honor belongs to Trend Development, who was able to complete a home in 2015 that came in a staggering rate of 1.2 ACH50 – we applaud your efforts!
