Wimberley Springs home features include:
High thermal performance: the concrete construction of our homes provide thermal mass that slows heat transfer into and out of the home allowing the structure to better withstand temperature swings, like a cold snap or heat wave, without increasing air conditioning or heating costs.
Energy efficiency: Homes will be certified to the EnergyStarⓇ home standard developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Energy Star certified homes are independently verified and field tested. ICON homes typically receive a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rating between 40-55, meaning ICON homes may be 45-60% more energy efficient than a standard new home*. The final HERS rating will be field verified and will vary from home to home based on floor plan and final field test results.
Sustainably built: ICON’s proprietary low-carbon material CarbonX, when paired with ICON’s wall system and robotic construction methods, is the lowest carbon residential building system to be used at scale. (MIT White Paper)
Strength and durability: The printed wall system of ICON homes have been tested to withstand wind speeds of up to 250 mph.**
Smart home equipped: Included in the homes are smart thermostats for energy efficient operation and a smart video doorbell.
Elevated finishes: Each home is equipped with large format floor-to-ceiling windows, standing seam metal roofs, porcelain tile backsplash, quartz countertops, state of the art LG stainless steel appliances and induction cooktops. Primary bedrooms feature dual vanities and freestanding soaking tubs. Neutral tones encapsulate the finish out collection to further merge the earthen aesthetic between indoor and out.
