Log Home Design

Log homes may be site-built or pre-cut in a factory for delivery to the site. Some log home manufacturers can also customize their designs.

Before designing or purchasing a manufactured log home, you need to consider the following for energy efficiency:

• The R-Value of Wood
• Minimizing Air Leakage
• Controlling Moisture
• Building Energy Code Compliance

For designing an energy-efficient log home, you should consider using the whole-house systems approach. You might also want to incorporate some passive solar design features.
