Savings. While depending on the size and
design of your house, you could pay from 0% to 5% or
more in upfront construction costs. But, over the long
term, costs are reduced or reimbursed in a number of
ways—smaller heating and cooling units, lower monthly
energy bills, lower insurance costs, shorter
construction time, no extra costs for furring or
insulation, low maintenance costs and greater resale
value.
