Description: Designed and built in accordance with the Passive House principles, this single story Energy Star Home has been created with not only environmental and economic sustainability in mind but simplicity and visitability as well. As a LEED registered project with a Platinum target Global Sustainable Solutions, alongside a team of skilled professionals, has focused strongly on energy conservation with the use of increased insulation, passive solar design, meticulous attention to air sealing and the installation of energy efficient features and appliances. Among a host of environmental features, such as flooring milled from site harvested lumber, grey-water recycling and the minimizing of construction waste, this Solar Ready project will achieve Net-Zero once PV panels are connected.
