Solar Heat and Hot Water

Using the black metal roof of the house as the active collector and 78% of the windows on the south for passive collection hot air is moved to storage in the 1,920 cubic feet (75,600 BTU per Deg. F) of concrete and gravel thermal storage under the house. Air from the collector is also used to heat the homes water.

Zero Energy Costs

The 5 kw Photovoltaic Solar Panels provide revenue of approximately 4,500 per year which should easily cover the cost of electricity used.

•Super Insulated >>R 52 Walls Fiberglass >>R 74 Attic Blown in Cellulose >>R 40 Surrounding Storage Rigid foam insulation / R 20 Under home and extending 4' beyond (wing insulation) Rigid foam insulation

•Standoff Wall System The standoff wall system used in this home was developed in Canada and is featured in the Canadian Home Builders Association builder's manual. The main advantage of this system is the high level of insulation achieved with standard fiberglass insulation R52 (16") and a continuous vapour barrier not requiring perforations for electric and other utilities. •Windows – Double pane Solar Gain 179 Farley state of the art windows are designed for optimal solar heat gain and energy efficiency and are ideal for climates with a longer heating season. Highest energy star ER rating

100% Electric Energy (No Fossil Fuels)

•Space Heating: Back up heat is provided by a small energy efficient electric furnace which comes on between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. during off peak hours when electricity is approximately half price. The heat is retained in the same large thermal mass that is used for solar heat storage. •Hot Water: Solar heat is used to provide approximately 90% of the hot water 100 gals. during the summer and approximately 50% during the winter, with electric water heating during off peak periods and 30 gals. in the end stage to deliver a consistent temperature of 50 deg. C. •Fresh Air: The HRV (Heat recovery ventilator) brings in fresh air and exhausts stale air while recovering heat.

Sustainable Building Materials •Flooring: Main floor natural stone on concrete Upper floor bamboo flooring 5/8" certified by E.C.O. Inst. •Paints: Earth friendly no V.O.C.'S •Exterior Siding and Trim: 1" thick locally cut and milled pine and hemlock (Lasts 100 years on barns) •Interior Trim: Pine (not fibreboard)
