Sunset Hills, MO
At Stockell Homes, our commitment to exceptional energy performance is evident in every detail. Here’s how our homes deliver better efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. The following case study was done on a 7,629 square foot home in Sunset Hills, MO.
Better environments inside & out
Better environments inside & out
Every Indoor airPLUS qualified home is also ENERGY STAR certified and includes additional features to help protect you and your family against potential health risks such as moisture and mold, pest, combustion gases, garage pollutants, and in certain areas of the country, radon gas. You can also expect a more comfortable living environment because ENERGY STAR and Indoor airPLUS homes include properly engineered HVAC systems, improved duct and equipment installation, and fresh air ventilation designed for energy efficient new homes. Homes are qualified to meet EPA’s fresh air ventilation designed for energy efficient new homes. Homes are qualified to meet EPA’s comprehensive Indoor airPLUS construction specifications by a certified Home Energy Rater.
To learn more about the verified indoor air quality features of your new home, ask your builder to go over the completed Indoor airPLUS verification checklist with you. To protect your investment for years to come, you’ll need to maintain the condition of your qualified home. Just as your car needs regular maintenance to continue running smoothly, your home will need regular maintenance, too. Follow your builder’s recommendations for home care, and plan to have a qualified HVAC system professional service your system at the beginning of each heating and cooling season. Maintaining good indoor air quality also means never smoking indoors, ventilating during and after activities that involve the use of chemicals or other pollutants, and testing your house for radon.

ASHRAE 62.2 – Ventilation Requirements
The ASHRAE 62.2 flow rates shown above are the CONTINUOUS mechanical fresh air ventilation which will meet the ‘whole-building’
requirement under that version of the standard. The 62.2-2013 rate incorporates any appropriate ‘infiltration credit’. Intermittent
mechanical ventilation may be used if the flow rate is adjusted accordingly. For example, the runtime can be reduced to 12 hours
per day using a doubled flow rate, as long as the system provides ventilation at least once every 3 hours. For more detail, refer to
the appropriate standard.
