I see foil backed facing on the roof, and I assume the windows are filled with some sort of gas and multi paned, etc.
Probably similar to here for cold?
Thanks, Joe

Hey Joe, I'm using the radiant barrier sheathing and blown in insulation extra deep in the attic. I believe it will be close to R50. I'm using batt in the wall as it's 2x6 and I'll do some air sealing prior with foam and silicone. I opted for aluminum windows as I wanted the look, but they are argon filled. While vinyl/fiberglass are a little more efficient, they don't fit our style and you still have a HUGE hole in your wall that is commonly known as a window. These will be much better than a majority of windows out there. The really cut down on the heat vs. a standard dual pane. I may end up with some modern awnings on my exposed South windows. I haven't nailed down that strategy yet. It also has multi zone AC/HEAT and all the systems will be efficient. I'm hoping for a reasonably economical house. Time will tell.
