Benefits of Insulation to Modular Home<\/h3>\n

The use of insulated precast foundation\u00a0to modular home construction brings many benefits and some drawbacks compared to a conventional framed building.<\/p>\n

No one method of energy efficiency in a modular home<\/strong> can reduce your heating bill to zero, but\u00a0good quality insulation can go a long way to reducing costs. Most manufacturers who draw up modular home floor plans incorporate\u00a0high standards of insulation on the walls, ceilings\u00a0and have the\u00a0best standard of windows and doors on the market. Good insulation can keep your house warm in winter, and cool in summer.<\/p>\n

Properly insulating your modular home does not just mean the right amount of insulating material; it also means energy-efficient foundation walls.<\/p>\n

The cost of insulated precast foundation<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0for a modular home is higher than the materials for a comparable framed building in the United States; however, this may not be true elsewhere. Well-built modular home using insulated panels will have a tighter building envelope and the walls will have higher insulating properties, which leads to fewer drafts and a decrease in operating costs. Also, due to the standardized and all-in-one nature of insulated panels, construction time can be less than for a frame home, as well as requiring fewer tradesmen.<\/p>\n

The panels can be used as floor, wall, and roof, with the use of the panels as floors being of particular benefit when used above an un-insulated space below. As a result, the total life-cycle cost of a insulated precast\u00a0constructed building will, in general, be lower than for a conventional framed one\u2014by as much as 40%. Whether the total construction cost (materials and labor) is lower than for conventional framing appears to depend on the circumstances, including local labor conditions and the degree to which the building design is optimized for one or the other technology.<\/p>\n
