Why is a timber frame home more energy efficient than a conventionally built one?

Due to the way we design the timber frame assembly and the efficiency of the insulated panels, a timber frame structure is typically 50% more energy efficient than a conventionally constructed home utilizing the same R-value.

County building codes dictate the energy requirement for the R-values for the walls, roof and floor of the structure; however a higher R-value may be used if desired, by utilizing a thicker insulated panel.
