What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
The house was built with added cost for long-term savings; low maintenance weather-appropriate materials, commercial grade windows, energy efficient features, and professionally engineered slab-on-grade/rock anchored structure.
Energy efficiency features include Low-E argon glazing, house orientation to allow passive solar gain (absorbed into dark concrete floors), Wirsbo in-floor radiant heat (lower thermostat setting required for comfort), high level of day lighting, dual-fuel heating capabilities with Rais (high-tech combustion) wood stove, high-tech r-value coating (metal flecked paint) on interior walls/ceiling, multiple controllable heat zones, and insulation meeting 21st century energy codes.
The house is accessible, meeting ADA criteria with a no-steps level entry, HC door knobs/faucets, passageways at wheelchair/walker dimensions, and threshold-less over-sized walk-in shower with blocking in the walls for grab bars, and first floor accessible deck.
Sustainable/ Natural features include grounds manipulated to be xeri-scaped; a naturally landscaped yard with indigenous self-sustaining plants that protects natural shoreline habitat and filters run-off, and no asphalt/concrete or pervious drive-way or sidewalk material that impedes natural filtration.
House-hold water saving features including Low-Flow Faucets and Showerheads, Energy Star Washer and Low-Usage Dishwasher.
Healthy features include Interior daylight is maximized with high clerestory glass. Interior air quality is addressed with use of no/low V.O.C. (volatile organic compound) paints/wall covering and a 24-7 fresh-air exchanger.
