Behind the Walls: What Makes Two Structures Homes Energy Efficient

When people walk into a new home, they often fall in love with what they see: the open layout, the natural light, the finishes. But at Two Structures, some of the most important features are the ones you don’t see—because that’s where true comfort and long-term savings are built.

Energy efficiency isn’t a single product or upgrade. It’s a system. It’s thoughtful planning, smarter building practices, and a commitment to doing things the right way even when it takes more time. Here’s a look behind the walls at what makes our homes perform better—season after season, year after year.

Advanced Framing Techniques

We use optimized framing layouts designed to reduce unnecessary lumber and create cleaner, more insulated wall cavities. This means fewer thermal bridges and more space for high-performance insulation—translating directly into better energy retention and lower utility bills.

High-Performance Insulation

From spray foam in key areas to tightly sealed attic spaces, our insulation package goes beyond code minimums. It keeps conditioned air inside, blocks drafts, and helps maintain steady indoor temperatures even on the hottest summer days or coldest winter nights.

Sealed, Efficient Ductwork

Many homeowners don’t realize how much energy can be lost through leaky ducts. In a Two Structures home, duct systems are sealed, tested, and designed to move air efficiently. The result? Better airflow, improved comfort, and less wasted energy.

Low-E Windows

We install Low-E windows that reflect heat, reduce UV exposure, and help keep the interior of your home comfortable without overworking your HVAC system. Plus, they protect your floors and furniture from sun fade—an added bonus that homeowners love.

Smart HVAC Design

Our HVAC systems aren’t just powerful—they’re designed strategically for each floor plan. Proper sizing, placement, and airflow design ensure the system works efficiently and quietly. That means fewer temperature swings and lower monthly energy costs.

A Tighter Building Envelope

One of the things we take the most pride in is building homes with tight, well-sealed envelopes. Every joint, seam, and penetration is thoughtfully sealed to prevent air leakage. When your home holds onto conditioned air more effectively, everything inside works better.

At Two Structures, energy efficiency isn’t an upgrade—it’s our standard. Because a home built for a lifetime should be comfortable, efficient, and ready for the future from the moment you walk through the door.
