What makes it Green:
Enjoy views of the Front Range mountains, the quiet and privacy of property bordering a state park, and the energy efficiency of a bermed, adobe, passive solar home.
From the street (north side), all that is visible is the tile roof, since the house is built into the ground. The side away from the street (south side) is filled with windows yet private because the property joins a state park -- no neighbors!
The home includes a clerestory with operable windows, a 240 square foot sun porch with connecting doors to warm the house in the winter, external and internal adobe walls for thermal mass, an active solar hot water panel, and ceramic and saltillo tile floors.
The house gets most of its heating and cooling through passive solar and convection. An air tight kive-style fireplace and a pellet stove give an assist during the coldest times, while there is a swamp cooler available for the hottest days.
The home is complemented with a 2,500 square foot xeriscape garden area filled with perrenials adapted to high prairie and low water conditions. Grama grass completes the low-water plant selection. The garden and grass area are watered with a drip system and a special underground grid watering system for the grass.
