Welcome to your Green Home Feature Resource for Tucson Energy Saving Homes. The Energy Efficient Home Design is based on the latest construction techniques with emphasis on optimal use of space and a healthy interior living environment. The Tucson real estate market has Resale and New Build homes avaliable with Energy Saving Features at a great value. We promote homes with Healthy Living Environments and Reduced Monthly Utility Costs. More on the value of High Performing Energy Efficient New Homes.
Coolerado’s rooftop air conditioner handles dry weather more than twice as efficiently as anything else, cutting energy consumption in the hottest, most AC-dependent desert areas. It improves the specific type of unit used in arid regions, which pulls heat out of the air when water inside the unit evaporates (much as sweat cools you down as it evaporates). The system also cools the air around the water, creating a bigger temperature difference so it can absorb more heat from the outside air. When it rains, a traditional compressor kicks in to cut moisture.Coolerado Air Conditioning System
Frequently, tests of existing heating units reveal operation at 50-60% combustion efficiency. High-efficiency replacement units (with combustion efficiencies of 90% or greater) reduce fuel costs (and corresponding pollution) by 30-50% over existing units, High Combustion Efficient Heating
The Reverse Cycle Chiller will produce up to 120° f hot water for forced air and/or radiant floor heating plus 44° f chilled water for air conditioning, providing complete comfort with one efficient unit. Aqua Products: The Reverse Cycle Chiller
Combustion units for heating buildings benefit from drawing combustion air directly from the outside using sealed and insulated ductwork. The advantages of this are two-fold: 1) conservation of warm indoor room air; and 2) reduced infiltration of cold outside air through cracks in windows, doors, and elsewhere in the building envelope Outside Air Heating Source
HVAC accounts for 40% to 60% of the energy used in U.S. commercial and residential buildings. This represents an opportunity for energy savings using proven technologies and design concepts. More Efficient HVAC Systems
Radiant floor heating can be extremely cost-effective and comfortable. There are three types of radiant floor heat: radiant air floors, electric radiant floors, and hot water radiant floors. Hot water radiant floors, or hydronic systems, are the most cost-effective systems for homes or buildings in heating-dominated climates. Radiant Floor Heating Systems
Easy economic savings can accrue from instantaneous or on-demand type water heaters. In contrast to the traditional method of keeping 40 to 80 gallons of hot water at-the-ready in an insulated tank, on-demand heaters produce hot water only when it is needed. Instantaneous On-Demand Water Heaters
Programmable thermostats automatically adjust your home's temperature settings, allowing you to save energy while you're away or sleeping. Programmable Thermostats Save Energy
Geothermal heating systems, also known as geo-exchange, ground source pumps, or earth-coupled pumps, take advantage of the earth's nearly constant temperature (45-75 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on latitude) to heat and cool buildings. More Info On Geothermal Heating Systems

Strawbale homes can be comfortable and can manage moisture effectively when
designed and constructed properly. They use low embodied energy and low-toxicity
building materials which are usually available locally.

Easy economic savings can accrue from on-demand water heaters.
Instead of storing hot water, on-demand heaters produce
hot water only when it's needed.

Significant economic savings can come from modern windows. Unless recently
upgraded, your windows are likely a major source of heat loss.
