This process is referred to ass panelization, which is where you build the walls and other building components in a controlled environment and then assemble on site. As well, they go further with improving the energy performance of all aspects in the home. The products include Energy Star appliances, compact fluorescent and LED bulbs, programmable thermostats, and high efficiency water heaters.
