It can be daunting to face an empty lot and dream of the home that you want there — but for the Buckhead couple who designed this home, our process lead them straight to their goals.

Why Building Performance

The energy efficiency of your home depends on many factors. Some are obvious, like the ratings of your hot water heater and air conditioning systems and whether your house uses modern insulation.

But many factors are less obvious. Are your appliances, despite their high rating, integrated into a system of ducts whose insulation is substandard, wasting your cool air by leaking it into your hot attic? Was your insulation installed carefully and correctly, or were the edges of your attic or floor line left unprotected and now stand as a major source of energy loss in your home.

At Fresh World, know that true energy efficiency is not the product of individual gimmicks that can be applied to a house. Instead, environmental responsibility comes from evaluating your house as a whole system whose parts interlock and interact through each day's swings in temperature and each season's swing in conditions.

What is the first step? Give us a call and arrange for us to do a whole-house energy inspection, helping you to identify any gaps in your current profile. By addressing your home's fundamentals — by paying attention to basics like insulation and windows before moving on to more exotic improvements that might interest you — Fresh World can help your home become part of the solution to a sustainable Fresh World of environmentally responsible homeowners.
