Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Systems

Many homes still rely on outdated, inefficient systems designed as far back as the 1970s. By contrast, Trilogy homes use cutting-edge technology that maintains a consistent air balance and temperature and filters the air to reduce dust and toxins.

Shea Green Certified Fresh Air System Features:

• Ventilation systems are tested for efficiency and maintain less than a 3% leak rate compared to typical new home ventilation systems with a 14% leak rate
• Jump ducts adjust to equalize air pressure and more efficiently handle return air, eliminating hot and cold spots within the home
• Jump ducts allow equalized air distribution in rooms with closed doors
• Jump ducts reduce air-conditioning loss through the attic and crawl spaces
• Digital, easily programmable thermostats allow homeowners to plan for energy usage to maximize the benefits of on- and off-peak energy rates.
• Air filters have a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 8 or greater, which will reduce the accumulation of dust and debris in your system, and allow for more efficient operation over

Environments for Living on Fresh-Air Systems

Trilogy explores all ways to help you keep energy costs down, including installing solar-powered fans in the attic.

Benefits of solar attic fans include:
-No cost to operate
-Improved performance of A/C system
-Extended rood life
-Limits the growth of fungal and mold growth
