When we do begin our build (still under contingency), we'll also have a Vic Falls with a bonus room & finished basement. I'm starting to wonder if we should make any adjustments to the HVAC system in order to heat/cool the property. BTW...your home looks awesome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347398518872086623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589132818810482244.post-42530639428436708372013-01-22T17:33:46.236-08:002013-01-22T17:33:46.236-08:00Congrats Brian!!

Wow, the wildlife ...Thanks for the update Brian!!! Wow, the wildlife is on a mission. We have deer in our area but have not seen them in our yard, it may be because of how we are situated. However, there is a farm across the street from us and the cows were trying to make their way over to the community. Imagine that! lol<br /><br />I really understand how you feel about the bonus room. We don't have the two systems and was told the house has two zones. Really!? How does that work? Because we have to manage the cold/warm temperatures in the basement. Our PM stopped by today and told us to keep the basement door closed when we are in the basement to keep the warmth but it always feels cold to me. In the meantime, we are still testing the system out. <br /><br />It would be nice to find out what can be done since the bonus room is on the upper level. <br /><br />Outside of these issues, how are you enjoying your Victoria Falls?RickandNadasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440625366611097007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589132818810482244.post-41311473679105767772013-01-21T16:53:37.811-08:002013-01-21T16:53:37.811-08:00We have the same issue with our bonus room.

Not only is the room above the garage, it also has two exterior walls. We have only one zone and did not add extra insulation in the garage. However, we do have an insulated garage door. It's strange how things vary from region to region. Anyway, I hope your issues are resolved and I'd love the hear what they have to say about the bonus room.

They are doing it on ours (Elevation A, no bonus room)and said it is standard. Although the idea of a furnace in the attic is weird, I am hopeful it will make for more consistent temperatures throughout the house.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769071217782785879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589132818810482244.post-58954398469465551082013-01-21T08:08:02.304-08:002013-01-21T08:08:02.304-08:00Congratulations!

Honestly I think if they would have done the 2 zone (there's a platform for it in the attic as part of the standard design!) this would be a non-issue. I have no idea how it passed the Energy Star 3.0 since it states no more than a 5 degree temperature deviation between any two points in the house.<br /><br />We have no extra insulation on those exterior walls in the garage, as well as it's just a steel garage door with no insulation in it.Brian R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16126419201424696083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589132818810482244.post-49812114220160336502013-01-21T07:41:05.008-08:002013-01-21T07:41:05.008-08:00Glad to hear you are getting settled in.

I was just wondering if that would help. I'm really curious as to how RH corrects this issue for you. We also got the bonus room over the garage.
