Inherent Energy Efficiency of Round Structures
Working With Nature, Not Against It

The Deltec round home has always been extremely energy efficient, simply by nature of the shape.   There are two main reasons this works so well:

1. Less Exposed Surface Area. A round shape uses the optimum amount of material for a given floorplan.  This means less surface area in contact with adverse weather conditions such as high heat, extreme cold, and driving rains will help improve the overall durability and energy efficiency of the home.  Compare a Deltec Sierra model with 1600 sq. ft to a traditional 1600 sq. ft home, and you will find that the total square footage in contact with the outside environment is almost 650 square feet fewer!

 

 

2. Improved Aerodynamics. A circular home has outstanding aerodynamics, allowing the wind to flow around the home rather than build up pressure on any one side.  This translates into less air leakage, which according to the U.S. Department of Energy accounts for 25-40% of energy used to heat and cool buildings.  Deltec Homes have fewer drafts, increased comfort for their occupants, and lower energy use compared with traditional designs.

 

 

We love our Deltec. It is a wonderful design and is VERY fuel efficient. It was green before green was cool. - Becky A., Greenville, SC

Due to the superior energy efficient design of the Deltec home, all the south facing glass and the active solar power equipment, the home is totally self sufficient.
 - John J., Telluride, CO

Our Deltec home has exceeded our expectations. It is comfortable inside and looks great outside. We are very happy with the energy efficiency and comfort of this design. - Marianne K., Harrisonburg, VA

Each time the gas company sends out a bill, they include a chart comparing our consumption with their average customer. Always, our consumption is just half of the average. - Ed B., Holcomb, NY

Our past electric bills ranged from $120 to 250. With our 4000 sq. ft. Deltec (around 3 times the size of our old house), our electric bill averages around $120, $130 per month. - Kim M., Magnolia, TX

We love our Deltec home. It is very energy efficient (we have not had a gas bill over $75 this year), spacious, easy to maintain, and incredibly "livable." - 
Daniel & Lynn W., Wildwood, PA

We have just gone through our first winter and I can't believe how tight this house is, and how it weathers the local winds which are occasionally pretty interesting. - Joseph R., Oakhurst, CA

Using regular windows, floor plan design & sub-tunnels we have such great natural lighting that we almost never need to turn on any lights in the house.
 - Beth H., Charleston, SC

Even on coldest days in Colorado, our house stays in the low 60s without using the furnace during the day. In the summer it never gets above 75 even if 15 degrees warmer outside. Love my house! - 
Suzanne M., Buena Vista, CO

Everyone else around us is crying about $500-$600 a month electrical bills and ours was $239.00 last month which is really low for Hawaii. - 
Keith B., Holualoa, HI

For our new home, we built to the basic Deltec standards…and our Deltec Home earned a HERS score of 34. Our home uses 66% less energy than code-built new homes. We’re very pleased with the energy efficiency. -Barbara P., Richford, VT- - Barbara P., Richford, VT
