When it comes to selling your energy-efficient SIPs home, you might expect that prospective buyers will be drawn to the monthly savings on their utility bills. A recent report from the North Carolina Building Performance Association (NCBPA), sheds light on the tangible benefits of high-performance homes, revealing that they command an average premium of 9.5%. The study, which utilized the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index to quantify energy savings, demonstrated a clear link between lower HERS scores and higher total sale prices as well as prices per square foot.
Interestingly, homes constructed with Thermocore Structural Insulated Panels consistently achieve lower HERS Index scores, indicating superior energy efficiency. This translates to a higher expected return on investment should you decide to sell your comfortable and energy-efficient SIPs home in the future. While the NCBPA's report focused on three metro areas in North Carolina, similar results have been observed nationwide, highlighting the universal appeal of energy-efficient properties.
Earning a higher sale price is just one of the many rewards of investing in Thermocore SIPs, reaffirming the long-term value and sustainability of these innovative building materials.
