What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
The homes, located just south of Bethany Home Rd. on 14th Street, have a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score of 19 – lower is better. For comparison, most new home construction scores in a range of 65 to 70. This enviable score is attained through a “whole house” approach to energy savings incorporating high performance construction materials, high efficiency mechanical systems and photovoltaic solar energy production system. For example, the entire building envelope is insulated with 5.5 inches of sprayed open cell foam insulation in the exterior walls, gables and underside of the roof. Two 20 SEER, variable speed HVAC units supply comfortable, conditioned air throughout the home using delivery ducts which are located in the attic within an insulated space for increased efficiency. These units are so quiet that it’s sometimes necessary to look at the programmable thermostat to confirm that they are running. Homes so tightly insulated might be subject to poor indoor air quality, but Urban Fabric has also included a sophisticated fresh air ventilation system to continually refresh the air in the home.Property Description
