EARTH-SAVING IDEA
One of the biggest ongoing expenses in any home is the roof. This home is designed to take advantage of one of the most time-tested roofing materials: standing seam steel. It can be ordered in sun-reflecting colors to reduce heat gain, and should last more than 50 years.


 


GREEN HIGHLIGHTS
A
Framed with 2x6 lumber with “two stud” corners, wall cavities and roof are completely filled with spray foam. This ensures that all ducts and mechanicals can be placed within conditioned space.


B
All appliances, lighting, and fans are Energy Star rated.


C
Low-flow faucets, showerheads, and dual-flush toilets minimize consumption and waste of water.


D
The carefully sealed Energy Star–rated entry door in the garage not only seals out weather, but it also protects against rogue fumes from vehicles.


E
A large food storage pantry reduces trips to the grocery store (transit footprint).


F
The home has a reduced number of east and west windows to save energy.


G
The covered veranda on south elevation shades windows from excessive sun in summer.
