What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

Designed for energy efficiency, longevity and comfort, this gorgeous passive-solar home was constructed with the Faswall Block Insulated Concrete Form System by Shelterworks. The blocks are made of recycled hardwood pallets in a cement slurry. The core is concrete and rebar. The mineral wool insulation is on the OUTSIDE of the concrete, NOT the inside, which allows the walls to act as energy banks. (Many ICFS's are insulated on both sides, negating the energy-banking attribute of the concrete.) Please see Faswall video about our house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUcyhj563zA • 18-hr burn rating • Cool Roof - reflective copper-colored metal shingle. • Accurate Dorwin Windows. Top of the line, from Winnipeg. Fiberglass, argon-filled, tempered, casement and fixed. • Low-maintenance deck – Silica System with pavers. • Non-toxic American Clay interior finish. • Natural wood and porcelain floors. • Natural Cherry Cabinets & Built-Ins. • On-Demand Water Heater. • 12v lighting • Radiant Floor Heat. • Glass-front woodstove heats entire main floor and loft. (Plenty of firewood on the property.) • Organic terraced vegetable garden and native plants provide the landscaping. • Mature fruit and nut trees. • Fenced areas and out-buildings for livestock.
