HOME: WHY MEDALLION: BUILDING SCIENCE
You'll Never Believe Our Advances in Building Science!
Medallion Homes uses building science to create a home that is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Building science refers to the way a home's many components work together as a system. Each Medallion Home is designed with these principles in mind. For example, we use energy-efficient products like cellulose insulation, which reduces air, sound, and pest infiltration while increasing fire safety; a Tech Shield radiant barrier at roof decking; R-6 insulated ducts and Energy-efficient Trane 14 S.E.E.R A/C with gas furnace (gas furnace in select neighborhoods only). These products work in conjunction with the airtight Key™ Sealing System to provide a more comfortable, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly home.
Medallion Homes are recognized as EPA Energy Star® Homes. Because the energy costs will be lower than a conventional house, new homebuyers may be able to take advantage of Energy Efficiency Mortgages, which include favorable terms such as higher qualifying ratios, and reduced interest rates.
Medallion Homes has made it a goal to save you money by reducing monthly utility bills. We are the first San Antonio builder to earn the Energy Star® builder seal from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for building energy-efficient and environmentally friendly homes. Each certified home is rated on energy efficiency, new-home design, construction practices, building materials, water efficiency, and community planning.
The result is a Medallion Home with increased energy efficiency,
environmental sensitivity, comfort, and value.
