\nAt Schell Brothers, the words \u2018ultra energy efficient\u2019 and \u2018Schellter Advanced Building Science\u2019 are used quite often; after all, we are<\/em> in the business of building a healthier, more comfortable living environment and energy efficient homes. But while we may be fluent in energy efficiency, we also understand that not everyone comes to the home buying process with a full understanding of HERS Scores<\/a>, variable speed air handlers, or VOCs. Friends, welcome to your crash course in energy efficient homes and the\u00a0Schellter Advanced Building Science<\/a>.
\nWhat is Schellter Advanced Building Science?<\/strong>
\nAt Schell Brothers, we\u2019re always innovating, which is why we decided to team up with one of the top building science firms in the country to create homes that are leaps and bounds ahead of other new homes in the market today. The goal was to create a new type of home \u2013 one that meets three main objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Eliminates health risks associated with most homes to ensure your family is safe (and happy!).<\/li>\n
  2. Operates with ultra\u00a0energy efficiency to save you money (and grant you peace of mind).<\/li>\n
  3. Provides unparalleled durability, longevity, and strength (plus\u00a0the security of a lifelong home).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But is it Worth it?<\/strong>
    \nIt\u2019s OK, you can\u00a0ask this question! We hear it all the time and we are happy to report that Schellter actually pays for itself three times over. In addition, the features Schellter boasts will significantly boost the resale value of a Schell Brothers home.
    \nSanctuAIR. Enerwize. 4Tress.<\/strong>
    \nWhen you build a Schell Brothers home, you\u2019ll become familiar with these three terms, as they make up the backbone of Schellter. Over the next few weeks, we\u2019ll be introducing you to each as we move through\u00a0the Schellter blog series, but for now, here’s the breakdown:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. SanctuAIR: ensures a healthy environment.<\/li>\n
    2. Enerwize: helps you save energy and money.<\/li>\n
    3. 4Tress: means your home is built tough to stand the test of time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Pretty simple, right? Well, there’s a little more to it than that (alright, alright, A LOT more to it) but we’ll save\u00a0the details and specifics for next time.
      \nDid You Know?<\/strong>
      \nIn recent years, comparative risk studies performed by the EPA and it\u2019s Science Advisory Board have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health.*
      \nEPA studies show that the concentration levels of many air pollutants are on average two to five times worse indoors than outdoors. Further, the EPA estimates that the average American spends 90% of their time indoors.
      \nBringing Happiness Home<\/strong>
      \nThe truth is, we really are committed to providing a healthier, more comfortable and efficient living environment through our energy efficient homes. The kind of home that we would choose for our own families to live in for years to come. But what does that mean for you? It means it’s time to\u00a0Save. Breathe. Relax. Smile.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
