Have you decided to build an energy efficient house? What are some products that you can use in your house if you want to create an energy efficient house? This article will give two examples of energy efficient products.

One of the products that you will want to use is energy efficient insulation. In your house you want to make sure that the heat flows properly. This will help to cut the cost of both heating and cooling your house. With the proper flow, you won't have to increase or decrease the heat or air conditioning thermostat. With the installation of energy efficient insulation, your house will be more comfortable.

Heat tends to flow from warmer areas of the house to cooler areas of the house. With proper energy efficient insulation, the cooler areas will get warmer as the warm air moves to these places, and the heat in the summer will go from the outside part of your house to the inside of your house.The efficiency of insulation is measured by something known as the R-value. The actual value is based on the how thick and dense the insulation is as well as what kind is insulation is used. If the R-value is high, then you have insulation that is efficient.

A product that uses insulation and also helps to make your home energy efficient is a product known as the All Wall System. This concrete and insulation wall system conserves heat and air cooled energy. This system will help to reduce your monthly heating and cooling bills and will implement the use of smaller heating and cooling devices.

The All Wall System walls do more than cut down on the biggest types of energy loss. The concrete gives them the heat-absorbing property, "thermal mass". It keeps the walls of the house a little warmer when the outdoor temperature hits its coldest extreme, and keeps the house a little cooler when the outdoor temperature is hottest. The walls themselves "add back" heat or cooling to the house when it needs them most. This contributes about 12% of the needed energy to the house for free. Due to the savings in energy, the cost of the energy will be reduced. Less energy is needed, so the size of the furnaces and compressors will be smaller.

In conclusion, these two products are examples of the way people can save energy when they build new homes. If you are interested in building a home that will be cost efficient month after month, these systems and products should be used in the home.
