Basements in Texas: A bold new idea!
The whole building concept, as its name implies, is comprehensive. It encompasses the climate, the specific home site, the foundation, walls, and roof, the use of windows and doors and natural lighting, the heating and cooling systems, appliances, and lighting. By integrating these components with the proven energy efficiency of a basement, a home can be built for the same or lower cost than a traditional home and can offer significant savings in energy use.
