<Under Revision> Builder's Guide to Energy Efficient Homes in Louisiana

Successful, cost effective, energy efficient homes are no accident. They require diligent attention to detail.

Building an energy efficient home does not require special materials or construction skills. However, the quality of basic construction has a major influence on building comfort and energy costs.

Designing and building a home that uses energy wisely does not mean sacrificing a home's aesthetics or amenities.

The Builder's Guide points out a number of these details that are win-win items for homeowners, building contractors, realtors and mortgage financers.
