The lively, educational event will take place from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., showcasing how Schell Brothers homes can reduce consumers' energy bills by at least 35%, while providing healthy air quality that rates in the top 10% in the nation.  Event participants will have the opportunity to explore a vibrant show floor to experience state-of-the-art demonstrations and attend "Tech Talks", where experts, such as Ed Minch of Energy Services Group, will share the latest information about high performance features that can significantly impact a family's comfort, health and pocketbook. 

At EXPOsure, the company is launching three exclusive high performance brands with a long list of features that are standard in every Schell Brothers home. The 4tress™ components and techniques provide a product that is sturdier and long lasting, requiring fewer repairs than a typical new home.  Advanced framing techniques associated with 4tress™ include 2 x 6 exterior walls, engineered flooring systems, special waterproofing techniques, and a five check leak prevention system.  All 4tress™ homes meet stringent requirements for strength, durability, moisture resistance and sound attenuation.  The EnerWize™ brand is characterized by 16 SEER air conditioners, variable speed blowers, Rinnai tankless water heaters, specially sealed ducts, and proprietary techniques.  These features combine to provide an average HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score in a Schell Brothers home that is at or below 65. That means homeowners can expect a utility bill that will be about 35% less than a typical home. In addition, the 95% efficient gas furnace ensures that 95 cents out of every dollar an owner spends on fuel will end up as useful heat.  Available only from Schell Brothers, SanctuAIR™ standards exceed the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency's Indoor AirPLUS® program, placing Schell Brothers homes in the top 10% in the nation for air quality. Visitors to EXPOsure will learn how low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) building products and MERV-13 air filters - with a surface area 20 times larger than a standard filter - create a healthier environment that minimizes allergens, VOCs, and other contaminants that are prevalent in many homes.
