Right elevation. < The energy-efficient features of this home are: 1) Superior insulation: Includes wrapping the entire house from under the slab to roof peak with 1.5" of extruded styrene foam insulation. All exterior bearing plates (fascia & soffit substructure, porch floor rim joists, porch roof rafter ledger, and ceiling rim, etc.) are connected over the foam, greatly reducing thermal bridging through the framing members. Interior walls & roof are further insulated with 5.5" blown in cellulose insulation (walls) and 9.5" blown in cellulose insulation (roofs). 2) High performance windows: Harvey industries Tribute line of Double Low E, Krypton filled, triple-glazed windows with an R5 performance rating. 3) Tight construction: All areas of potential leakage in the building envelope are sealed with spray foam to reduce air leaks, moisture issues, dust, and noise. 4) Efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment: Because of the tight construction and insulation, the home’s heating and cooling system will consist of air source heat pumps, using 70% less energy/fuel costs than a traditional system for this sized home. 5) Fresh air ventilation system: Indoor air quality is controlled by a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) with continuously supplied preheated outside air to the living space.
