Our Sustainable Design Program

Think of all the possibilities a finished Superior Walls® basement provides; hobby room, laundry room, in-law suite, guest quarters, game room, entertainment center, home office, fitness center, second living room, or storage. 

For homes with a small footprint that cannot expand out and around the property, a basement offers the flexibility of building down to maximize the square footage of the main living areas. 

Energy Star

Superior Sustainable Building

Energy Star Rated

Sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Energy Star is a program that goes beyond standard building codes. It’s commonly included in green building initiatives and is utilized to evaluate the energy efficiency of single or two-family homes and townhomes.

According to some estimates, homes with Energy Star labels are approximately 15% more efficient than those constructed in accordance with the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) or the International Residential Code (IRC), and they may be up to 30% more efficient than conventional homes. For a home to receive the Energy Star label, an independent Home Energy Rater must verify that it adheres to Energy Star guidelines.

To build an Energy Star-qualified home, you can turn to Superior Walls®. Their custom wall assemblies increase the home’s insulation value and decrease air infiltration, substantially impacting the home’s overall energy efficiency rating.

Superior Walls® Lower Energy Costs

Basement wall insulation reduces energy costs in several ways including reduced heat loss, temperature regulation, and moisture buildup prevention. Superior Walls® homes can see lower energy costs throughout the home’s lifetime.

Insulating basement walls creates a thermal barrier that helps prevent heat from escaping the basement and the rest of the house. This means less energy is needed to heat the home, resulting in lower heating bills.

Insulation can also help regulate the temperature in the basement, which can help keep the rest of the house at a consistent temperature. This causes your heating and cooling systems to work less, resulting in lower energy bills.

Superior Walls® can also help prevent moisture buildup in the basement, which can lead to mold growth and other issues. By keeping the basement dry, insulation can help maintain the structural integrity of the home and prevent costly repairs (HAVC system must be functioning properly).

Overall, insulating basement walls is an effective way to reduce energy costs by improving the energy efficiency of a home. Superior Walls® provides a high-quality product that can result in homeowners seeing lower energy bills.

Superior Sustainable Building

Environmentally-Friendly Process

Superior Walls® utilizes insulated concrete studs in their engineered foundation wall panels, which results in a reduction of building materials like wood and concrete, ultimately minimizing the carbon footprint during the construction of your new home.

Each project is custom-designed to meet the exact specifications of your construction project by skilled CAD designers utilizing a proprietary program to design the Superior Walls® panels and prepare production and building plan review drawings. The manufacturing process guarantees concise specifications, dimensional accuracy, and superior quality.

Installation is fast, typically taking just hours instead of weeks, with trained crews using cranes to set the wall panels in place, laser-leveled to be plumb, level, and square. Special adhesive sealant ensures tight, permanent joint seals.

The factory-controlled production process ensures that your Superior Walls® foundation is delivered to your home site ready to install with virtually no on-site waste, making it the most environmentally friendly foundation system available.

Superior Foundation

No On-Site Soil Contamination

When you choose Superior Walls® for your foundation, it will be constructed within an indoor production facility, which eliminates any risk of on-site soil contamination caused by materials such as form oil used for poured walls. Additionally, our walls already incorporate damp-proofing, which means that there is no need for on-site sprays or bituminous coatings to make the walls dampproof.

Home Innovation NGBS Green Certified

NGBS Green Certified Product

Superior Walls® produces NGBS Green-Certified products that have been pre-qualified by Home Innovation Research Labs (formerly the NAHB Research Center) to earn specific green points in categories such as resource efficiency, energy efficiency, and indoor environmental air quality. This certification program is highly recognized and follows the National Green Building Standard, which was first published on January 29, 2009, and covers all types of residential construction, including remodeling and additions to existing buildings.
