The house design and construction encompass sustainable strategies. The envelope is insulated with closed-cell spray foam with R-38 walls and R-60 roofs. The mechanical system includes a high-efficiency natural gas boiler with variable air volume delivery. The fresh air exchanger includes a mechanical energy recovery ventilation system. Windows are Energy Star rated. All lighting is LED and all switches are dimmable. The rainwater, both from the landscape and architecture, is collected on site and dispersed into a dry swale and bio retention area. The collection area temporarily stores and filters the water for erosion control.
