PLAN ES3174
Sheltered Views
Technically modern yet classically attractive, this 2,525-sq.-ft. plan has plenty of living space on three levels.
GREEN HIGHLIGHTS
A Energy-efficient windows are sized to take advantage of solar gain on southern-facing elevations, while glazing is limited on northern exposures.
B Extra-height energy heel trusses allow space for mare insulation.
C Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) provide thermally unbroken mass and insulation.
D A 95% AFUE boiler provides heat for an in-slab radiant-floor heating system.
E The 20 SEER air conditioning specified serves high-velocity ductwork.
F Roof overhangs above south-facing windows maximize solar gain in winter and minimize it in summer.
G The design calls for high EER, Energy Star-compliant appliances.
H Engineered wood headers and I-joists use less lumber and are manufactured from fast-growing, renewable trees.
The wrap-around porch sweeps around three sides of this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home. It’s designed to be built of ICFs, and, depending on the site, tucked into a slope. The public rooms are mostly on the middle level. The owners’ suite and generously sized living, dining and morning rooms share that level. The garage level houses the laundry room, a secondary bedroom and bathroom as well as a recreation room. The highest level features a bedroom loft with its own bathroom and access to a private balcony that faces south.
