Bright and Breezy
This spacious home has a familiar, modern feel, but its many high-tech features make it far easier to heat, cool, and maintain than comparable models.
EARTH-SAVING IDEA
The designer included a “breathable roof underlayment system,” which creates a path for air to move underneath roof tiles, keeping the attic cooler.

GREEN HIGHLIGHTS
A
The home is framed with 6” structural insulated panels (SIPs), boosting R-value and reducing air infiltration.
B
The rear courtyard area includes a permeable solar slab, which allows easy access to field lines for the home’s water source heat pump.
C
A home office reduces the need for daily commuting—and the associated CO2 footprint.
D
Wall-mounted tankless hot water heaters in each bathroom use energy only when needed, at the point of use.
E
Energy Star-rated appliances and water-saving faucets are standard.
F
A built-in “wind finder” in the cupola above the home office brings fresh air into the house naturally.
G
The south-facing garage roof provides optimal placement for solar hot water and photovoltaic panels.
