Certified Home on Bainbridge Island
Sustainable Subdivision - Valley Road Farm is a small, 4 unit subdivision of ecologically sensitive homes. Expansive community commons are specifically designated for gardening or small scale agriculture. This is healthy, country living with easy access to amenities and downtown Seattle.
Passive Solar Design - Southern orientation provides natural day lighting and passive solar heating (less use of electricity for lights and heat, superior comfort).
Photovoltaics (PVs) - 40 Sanyo, 8 Kilowatt PV array, grid tied to Puget Sound Energy (PSE).
Net Metering - PSE pays $.15 per kilowatt generated and "banks" watts generated in the summer for use in the fall and winter. The PVs will generate approximately 9,200 kilowatts/year and average household consumption is 9,000. This should be a net zero energy home! The homeowner will also receive as much as $1,380/year from PSE for the electricity generated until 2014 and other legislation can extend or increase this.
Solar Hot Water - The 30 Tube Thermomax system provides hot water for domestic use which is stored in two super insulated hot water tanks.
Rain Screen Wall System - Includes fiber cement siding (primed and painted on all six sides), battens to allow an airspace behind the siding, building paper as a moisture retarder, CDX plywood sheathing, 2x6 wood stud wall with foamed-in-place insulation and 1/2" extra strength gypsum wall board finish.
Advanced Framing - Advanced framing is a series of techniques that uses at least 20% less lumber and increases insulation space. The house is structurally engineered to put the wood only where it is needed. The techniques used in this house include:
- Studs 24" on-center (not the common 16" oc)
- Most of the window and door headers have been eliminated
- 2 stud corners and single top plates
- Rim joists used as a structural beam
- in line/stack framing (loads are transferred directly to foundation)
- Trusses in the carport instead of a stick-framed roof
Insulation - BioBased Insulation is a blown in soy-based insulation product that has a better insulation value than standard fiberglass insulation or other blown-in-batt products. It fills cracks and crevices often left out in other insulation systems. The foamed-in insulation is a vital component of this house's energy conservation.
Radiant Floor Heating - With a weather responsive WIRSBO (Uponor) temperature control. The main floor has PEX plastic piping embedded in the concrete floor. Hot water is circulated through the pipes which warms the concrete and in turn warms the people and objects in the home. Dust and pollen fall to the floor and can be cleaned, unlike a forced air system that tends to continually blow contaminants through the air.
Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) - Venmar Hepa 3000. Every room is ducted to the HRV which circulates air throughout the entire house to provide optimal indoor air quality. The interior air is sent to the HRV which saves 85% of the heat before sending it outside and then warms and filters the incoming outside air. The incoming air goes through a HEPA filter to remove impurities before it is sent throughout the house.
Electric Boiler - Slant/Fin Monitron, model EH. The high-efficiency, on-demand electric boiler's function is to heat the water for the radiant floor system.
Non-toxic Paints & Finishes -
Eco Spec paints, concrete/bamboo/marmoleum floors, paperstone counters, salvaged wood ceilings and more.
