Great event last week at the SMC Educational Event at Addison Homes!

What does it look like behind the walls of the first mainstream Zero Energy Home in Greenville SC? 
That’s a question Greenville HBA’s Sales & Marketing Council asked – and Addison Homes answered! On Tuesday, November 11 Builders and Agents met at Addison’s model home in Trailside for a pre-drywall tour.
Construction is currently under way, so this educational event was all about taking a look at the energy-efficient products and processes you won’t see again once the walls go up. Todd Usher, president of Addison Homes, provided an overview of the house as a system; in addition, representatives from vendors including Dow Solar, Velux, Icynene, Prime Energy Group and Wood Insulating were on hand to answer questions about their products.
