What is the eFACTOR and how much does it cost? Glad you asked.
Simply put, eFACTOR is a high performance set of award-winning, energy-wise features and standards that are built into every new home that ICI builds at no additional charge.
Built to deliver superior energy ratings and a healthier living experience, each ICI home is inspected, measured and certified by independent third party experts. In fact, an ICI eFACTOR home delivers a HERS rating (Home Energy Rating Standard) that is twice as efficient as the average existing home.
