People’s Choice
This traditional-styled plan has been super-charged with green building science to improve on energy efficiency, durability, water consumption, and more.
EARTH-SAVING IDEA
This plan calls for a structural detail called a “modified raised plate.” The plate supporting the rafter at the top of the walls is raised 12” to allow for extra insulation at the top of the ceiling area, a common weak point in a home’s insulation “blanket.”
