Talking About Energy Star Homes in Georgetown

Menkes engaged a third-party company to perform tests on the homes and have been achieving an energy rating and testing results that are 20% better than code (SB12-2012), something the company is very pleased about.

"We're really proud to be building ENERGY STAR® homes," said Steven Menkes, President of the Low-Rise Residential division at Menkes. The ENERGY STAR® label guarantees that when our homeowners make what may be the biggest purchases of their lives, they are not only buying homes that are both well-built and will save them money, but also decreasing their impact on the environment.?

Green features include R50 attic insulation, R31 sprayed in foam for garage ceilings, sealed ductwork joints, high efficiency HRV, drain water heat recovery systems, and excel structural insulated sheathing to name a few.

In order to familiarize their homeowners with all the green features of their new homes, Menkes held an information session to detail these features, explain their function and answer any questions homeowners had about their new home and the energy-saving products that were installed. "We were very pleased to have had the opportunity to learn more about our new home and these features." said one homeowner. "It's one thing to see them written on paper but it's another thing to actually learn what they do and have the benefits explained in detail."
