Project Green Home
Our clients had an ambitious goal - a 'Beyond-LEED-Platinum,' Net-Zero Energy, and Passive House certified home, on a budget, and a comfortable family home that they would love and show off.
The most significant innovation is in the building envelope - 2x8 framing with sprayed cellulose insulation, plus an additional exterior wrap of rigid insulation and R-5 German-made Sorpetaler windows define the wall, while the thermal-mass slab floors are well insulated with 4 inches of rigid, wrapping to 2 inches at the stem walls.
