What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

ENERTIA home kits are 100% renewable material, and use the sun for heating and the earth for cooling. You can read about them on the ENERTIA website, Science Friday, or on "How Stuff Works"

Property Description

This double shell home was built in 1986 from an ENERTIA Genesis 2- 3236 kit (page U26 in the current Enertia Catalog.) Winter heating is passive with a Trombe wall and solar convection loop, supplemented by an (8) 4 x 10 panel active solar thermal system with an insulated 400 gallon tank in the garage feeding pex hydronic-radiant tubing under the main and upper floors, and also supplying a 120 gallon domestic hot water tank. Summer cooling is by the geothermal connection with the earth, supplemented by a Unico AC system in the inner shell. The outer shell is vented during the summer. The interior is Timber-frame with 10 x 12 main girders, and 6 x 6 exposed beams. Three European tilt-turn windows allow owner tweaking of the air paths.

Neighborhood Description

This is technically in an older 1980's neighborhood called "Horse Creek" but this home fronts on the main state road rather than the smaller subdivision roads.
