$50,000 Saved. Compliance Intact.
The builder's insulation specification was accurate. It just wasn't cost-efficient. The Hone team understood how ballooning insulation products over the bottom chords of trusses affects the construction R value - and used that to make a targeted product switch. The new product performed more efficiently within the same system, raising the construction R value from R5.39 to R7.29 without changing the build approach.
That lift gave the builder room to pull back spend in other areas of the envelope, saving over $1,000 on that project while passing compliance by 6.2%. Applied across their full portfolio, the same thinking saved over $50,000 in a single year.
