Our Goal was to set the bar higher than
imaginable for sustainable, energy
efficient reproducible Green homes.
What we accomplished was a LEED-H
Certified Platinum, Zero Energy, Zero
Carbon Dioxide emissions, high
performance, sustainable, reproducible
Green home that the average home
buyer can afford.
We started with a functional floor plan
designed to minimize
waste of construction materials and
practical for the average family. Paying
close attention to every detail of
construction and looking
at the home as a system, instead of a
collaboration of individual components,
we were able to build a sustainable home
that efficiently uses and produces
energy while conserving water
and providing a healthy indoor air
environment.
Our Green home generates renewable
energy by the use of Photovoltaic solar
panels. By systematically calculating
the electrical energy needs of the home,
we were able to size the photovoltaic
solar system to generate more energy
than what the average family would
consume under normal living conditions.
Utilizing thermal solar panels for
domestic hot water, we were able to
effectively eliminate the conventional
gas hot water heater and avoid
carbon dioxide emissions.
Using a HEPA filter in conjunction with
the heat recovery ventilation system,
low VOC interior materials, passive
radon ventilation system, pressurized
interior environment and Energy Star
kitchen and bath exhaust fans, we are
able to provide a healthy indoor living
environment while reducing
the exposure
to outdoor pollutants.
Even though upon your first visit to our
Green Home you will notice the
photovoltaic and thermal solar panels as
well as the filtration system and
monitoring components, it’s what you
cannot see that completes and makes the
home one of the most affordable energy
efficient homes available. |
