Energy Efficiencies.

The Vistas design team expended tremendous time and effort into designing the finest, ski on / ski off, new home product in Killington to date. The highest of quality custom and energy efficient features have been implemented throughout these homes.

While energy efficiency is certainly a buzz word in this industry today, it is a goal which has been attained at the Vistas.

The following features have been implemented within the homes of The Vistas:

1. The homes at The Vistas will be qualified as Energy Star compliant by the State of Vermont http://www.energystar.gov

2. The "warm" roof will feature R44 dense pack insulation and the walls will feature R-21 high density batts insulation.

3. High efficiency rated heating, air conditioning and domestic hot water systems with programmable controls.

4. Radiant heat is more efficient by heating the structural members of the house as opposed to simply "tossing" heat into the air. Additionally, radiant heat is silent, invisible and significantly more comfortable than all other means of heating.

5. Energy Star rated appliances

6. Pella InsulShield, Argon filled, Low-E insulating glass, high performance windows.

7. High burn efficiency masonry fireplace system by Isokern www.isokern.net

8. Water efficient plumbing fixtures

9. Compact fluorescent light bulbs will be standard in certain lighting fixtures

The common area lighting of the Vistas development will be illuminated by energy efficient LCD bulbs. Even more exciting, is that these lights will be powered by Cow-Power through Central Vermont Public Service. This is an innovative program by where methane gas from cow manure is used to generate electricity.

Not only does this power source reduce dependency on fossil fuels, it supports local Vermont farmers in the process. Win / win instead of lose / lose !!
