Absolutely. Our STANDARD 2 x 6″ walls have Energy Efficiency Ratings of R-23 with typical R-19 BATT insulation by using our R-Max thermal board insulation! Our optional 2 x 4″ walls have Energy Efficiency Ratings of R-17 with typical R-13 BATT insulation with the R-Max board! Ceiling insulation R values can be as high as you need to meet your Energy Calculations dictated by your Building Code requirements. All of our homes can EASILY MEET THE ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS; in fact our panelized homes outperform comparable homes (size and mechanicals) in thermal efficiency because of our standard use of the R-Max thermal board insulation.
