This home was built with a focus on Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Sustainable and Durable Materials and Comfort. Just some of the Green Features include: Heat recovery ventilation- (aka HRV) is a system, that employs a counter –flow heat exchanger between the inbound and outbound air flow. HRV provides improved indoor air quality and climate control, while also saving energy by reducing the heating or cooling requirements. The Munchkin Boiler- is one of the most compact and efficient residential boilers available on the market today providing radiant floor heat. It will modulate its firing rate to match the energy needs of the living space. This feature provides additional savings. Wool Carpets- are considered the best that money can buy. Wool is:100% renewable, biodegradable, naturally resilient, stain resistant and durable, recyclable, an insulator against noise and heat loss, mold resistant, lower energy intensive production than synthetic fibers and has no off-gassing of toxic fumes. Marmoleum floors- in the kitchen and bath made of non-toxic renewable materials are attractive and durable. Radiant Floor Heat- The best heating system a house can have is the one you don't realize is there. No radiators clanking in the night. No vents whooshing like a jet preparing for takeoff. No dust-spewing ductwork to run up your allergists' bills. Just an even blanket of heat, right where you want it. That's the appeal of radiant floor heating, "It's truly invisible". Hot-water radiant costs more to install than other types of heating systems— but once it's up and running, a radiant system can be up to 30 percent more efficient than forced-air heating. And there's no comparison when it comes to comfort. Insulated Concrete Forms- encompass the foundation for higher R Value and lower heat bills. Blown in Spray Foam Insulation- Has numerous practical and environmental benefits. Spray foam insulation is made from renewable and recyclable liquid materials that form into a solid, foam-like substance once it hits a solid surface. The liquid state allows it to penetrate fine cracks and holes in the surface that products like fiberglass can't protect. Since the entire surface area is sealed, it is much more energy efficient than any other material available. Your propane bill will reduce, saving you money and helping the environment. Spray foam insulation is more hygienic, sound dampening, health friendly, flame retardant and it discourages pests, moisture and mold more than fiberglass. High Efficiency, Low E Windows and Passive Solar orientation let sun and warmth in when you want it and conserve it.
