Baby boomers today are buying brand new homes that will last them till their dying days. These types of homes that the baby boomers tend to be pursuing don't have the high-tech 21st century gadgetry as you would expect.

This new kind of home is focused on energy efficiency, convenience and strength. It's designed to tolerate hurricanes and earthquakes, as well as hold back wind, snow, rain, sun and fire. You will probably be able to get fresh air and comfort in this kind of home all-day and everyday. It will handle the temperatures in the Canadian North, and simultaneously deal with hurricanes in Florida. The walls of this type of home are made up of concrete cubes that are reinforced with steel and have three inches of styrofoam insulation on all sides and floors that are heated by body temperature. There's a line of pipes that can be found five feet underneath the ground, which brings in fresh air. As a result of this particular design, the air is cooler during the summer and warm during the winter so the highly efficient, Low-E Argon filled windows do not need to be opened.

The air is normally regulated and filtered twenty four hours each day. The cost for this method of heating is approximately 11% less that conventional heating systems. A number of the newest technologies from today's home building is built into this luxury home of the future. It will contain an energy productive air conditioning system, tank-less water heater, insulated concrete forms and radiant heating floors. You will receive solid protection from hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires and wind because of the steel reinforced walls. You will rest soundly by the thickness of the walls, muffling police sirens and traffic noises.

This kind of house will not have rattling windows, squeaking floors, or drafty air coming in. Energy cost benefits and substantial comfort levels tend to be there because of the insulated concrete forms. Primarily based on the type of home you have, you could witness an energy cost savings of 35% to as much as 60%. There is going to always be a supply of hot water with the tank-less water heater, that turns on whenever the tap is turned on. This system can save some costs as well as provide convenience. You could easily produce your own personal energy from this home by incorporating a solar energy system as well.

Although it costs roughly 10% more to make this type of home compared to a wood framed house, the savings that you get long term as well as the amazing comfort makes it a good value. As soon as you choose your next home, seriously think about doing more research on this type of house.
