The Environments For Living® Program
2339 Beville Road
Daytona Beach, FL 32119
www.eflbuilder.com
The Environments For Living® program uses the principles
of building science to help builders construct homes that are
more energy efficient, comfortable, durable, healthier and safer
than homes that do not include the program requirements. The
program establishes requirements for tight construction, fresh
air ventilation, improved thermal systems, right-sized HVAC equipment,
balanced air pressure, internal moisture management and combustion
safety. A plan review is conducted for each new model to help
builders determine the steps required to meet the program specifications.
The program is performance-based and does not require builders
to use a particular manufacturer's product. Homes are evaluated
through random testing by trained and certified contractors.
At all levels of the program, homes are issued guarantees on
heating and cooling energy-use. Gold and Platinum homes are issued
a comfort guarantee*.
