A New Experience in Homebuilding

The Future of
Homebuilding
Environmental responsibility is an integral part of Deltec’s
philosophy. In an ever-changing industry, it is one aspect of
our company that has remained constant throughout almost
50 years in business. We believe that by taking the steps to
a better environment today, we’re creating a higher standard
for the future.
The Renew Collection is a component of our ongoing
mission to go beyond reducing environmental impact to
creating a positive, restorative effect. Building a home that
offers superior levels of energy efficiency and that will last
generations is more attainable than ever and the success
of this collection has validated what we’ve known since the
beginning: high performance and net-zero homes will be the
new standard of homebuilding.

“The World we all share is given to us in trust. Every choice we
make regarding the earth, air, and water around us should be
made with the objective of preserving it for all generations to
come.”
- August A. Busch III
“There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of
themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this
planet.”

homes use 2/3 less
energy than traditional
homes
We merge the necessity of conserving the earth’s
resources with the power of technology to build a
home that performs at a superior level.
The Renew Collection focuses on energy conservation
first: smart design, state-of-the-art technology and
quality craftsmanship are just some of the elements
that enable each home to produce as much energy as
it needs with clean, renewable energy.
We’re propelling the concept of high performance and
net-zero homes into the mainstream. If you’re ready
to move past average into excellence, from standard
to positive, join us as we build a better future with a
home from the Renew Collection.

A New Experience in Homebuilding
The Renew Collection was created to make sustainable living more practical. Each model is designed to be as
energy efficient as possible without compromising on living space or functionality.
When you purchase a home from the Renew Collection, you’re purchasing a high performance structural shell
designed and engineered to use two-thirds less energy than a traditional house. We evaluate your location to
determine which advanced wall and roof systems work best based on your climate. Your shell is then prefabricated
in our facility and shipped to your jobsite to be assembled and finished by your local builder.

Green Glossary
AirBlock Gasket A foam gasket
applied to wall systems in Deltec’s
factory, between the stud framing
and exterior sheathing, to create
an extremely air-tight wall system.
Air-tightness dramatically increases a
home’s energy efficiency by reducing
the introduction of unconditioned
outside air.
Advanced Framing A method of
reducing material use and improving
energy efficiency by reducing the
amount of lumber used while framing. The wall systems in the Renew
Collection use advanced framing
techniques, such as increasing the
spacing between studs (Energy Wall)
and staggering the placement of
studs (Double Stud Wall).
Double Stud Wall Wall system
included on Renew Collection shell
packages with the “North” climate
package. Wall design features
two layers of 2x4 walls to allow
homeowner to greatly exceed code
minimum insulation values, practicing “super-insulation.” Wall design
also includes the AirBlock Gasket
and R5 Thermal Shield.
Energy Wall Wall system included
on Renew Collection shell packages
with the “South” climate package.
Wall design features 2x6 wall
thickness for additional insulation,
Advanced Framing, R-5 Thermal
Shield package and Air Block Gasket.
HERS Index The Home Energy
Rating System (HERS) index is the
industry standard by which a home’s
energy efficiency is measured. The
scale runs 1-100, with lower scores
indicating better energy efficiency.
Indicates Deltec specialized technologies
High Performance Home
The National Institute of Building
Sciences defines a high performance
building as a building that optimizes
all major high performance building
attributes, including energy
efficiency, durability, and life-cycle
performance. Deltec extends
that definition, applying high
performance standards to every
aspect of the structure, including
precise structural decisions based on
climate zone.
Net-Zero Home Also known
as a zero-energy home, a home
with zero net energy consumption,
meaning that the total amount of
energy used by the building on an
annual basis is roughly equal to the
amount of renewable energy created
at the site. Most Net-Zero homes
are also, by definition, high performance homes, as it is more cost
effective to add renewable energy to
a structure that is already optimized
for energy efficiency.
Panelized Building System Made
of or having prefabricated wall, floor,
and roof sections that are shipped
to and assembled at the building
site.
Passive Solar Design A way to use
the design of the home to take advantage of the building’s site, climate,
and materials to minimize energy
use. A well designed passive solar
home reduces the heating and cooling load by the appropriate use of
windows, shading, insulation, thermal
mass, and other passive measures.
symbol to see
Look for the
which models have a passive solar
design.
Photovoltaic A solar panel that
generates electricity from sunlight.
Often installed on homes as a way to
generate energy on-site, reducing the
energy a home has to purchase from
the conventional power grid.
Renewable Energy Electricity
generated from sources that are able
to be renewed without continued
degradation of the landscape, or of
the availability of the energy source.
The most commonly used form
of renewable energy for individual
homes is solar photovoltaic panels
(solar panels).
Super-Insulation The practice of
insulating a new home to a much
higher degree than is required by
code in order to greatly reduce the
heating and cooling needs of a home.
Super-insulation is the most cost
effective strategy toward building an
affordable high performance or netzero home. Your Renew collection
building shell comes with wall and
truss systems that allow your home
to be super-insulated in your climate.
Thermal Mass Thermal mass is a
heat storage material such as water,
concrete, or masonry, used in passive solar design to capture and store
solar heat brought in by south-facing
window glass.
R5 Thermal Shield A layer of
foam insulation installed on the
outside of our wall panels, behind
the siding. This layer of insulation
blankets the entire wall, including the
wood framing, giving an extra R5 to
the total wall insulation value.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It: Deltec Testimonials
“The feel and views of a round house were prime reasons
we decided to build a Deltec. In addition, they had several
other benefits that were attractive to us: double stud
walls, in-house energy modeling to determine the heat
and cooling unit size we needed, and their help walking us
through decisions such as windows, doors, siding, insulation, and more. It was a fun build that allowed us to learn
a tremendous amount and do some of the work to bring
our vision into reality.”
“Deltec is at the national forefront in the industry, setting
an example for us all to reduce our carbon footprint, cut
our energy bills, and come home to a healthier place to
live.”
-US Green Building Council President, CEO
and Founding Chairman Rick Fedrizzi
-Chris in PA
“The teamwork displayed during the project, the quality
of materials, the quality of construction, their design skills,
their attention to detail, their overall professionalism and
dedication to exceed all our expectations, and their ability
to build to standards far above any norm, entitles them
to nothing less than the highest recommendation one can
think of. Our home by far exceeds the building standards
of any other construction company that I have seen.”
“I’m interested in energy efficient building concepts and
we’ve always wanted to build a net-zero home. I’m a
carpenter and saw quality in the Deltec construction on a
tour of the facility. The staff was also very helpful and has
great knowledge and experience with the whole building
process. They were very mindful of our budget and gave
us great suggestions that we might not have thought of
otherwise.”
-Rick in NC
– Jonathon in NC
“Sustainability, for me, is a way of life. When I decided to
build a small retirement home, it had to be passive solar,
active solar, fossil-fuel free and as close to net-zero as
possible. Deltec’s Renew Collection was my answer! The
Ridgeline has a passive solar design, a smaller footprint
and came with assistance from Deltec’s Green Building
Department that has been most valuable in providing me
with resources, the latest research and overall guidance in
a fast changing field.”
-Marie in VA

“This is an all-electric house: heating, cooling, cooking,
washing, lights, everything. With all our south facing
windows, we can see the thermostat rise two or three
degrees above set point when it is single digits outside.
So yes, we are happy Deltec home owners.”
-Kim in WI
[Deltec] combines its expertise in net-zero-energy
construction, honed over the past 10 years, with buying
power and the ability to build cost-effectively.
-Susan Bady, Professional Builder, Dec. 2014 issue
For us, environmental responsibility
doesn’t mean just ‘lessening our
impact’, rather, it means finding
ways to have a restorative effect,
a positive effect, on our planet
through the homes we build.
Making decisions with these ideals
is not always easy or simple but it’s the right thing to do.
