What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
Our home is built with SIPs which are made with young trees that don't kill forests in the process. The insulating factor of the SIPS and the Low-E windows makes the home very energy efficient. Replacing the older A/C unit and actually using the masonry heater in the winter would cut the utility bills in half. The masonry heater puts out very little pollution due to its design. With only one or two firings a day, the masonry heater will put out considerable heat for 12-18 hours after fire has gone out. The HRV (heater recovery ventilator) helps with providing continuous clean fresh air without the added expense of traditional HVAC. The floors are reclaimed maple flooring allowing other maple trees to remain uncut. All of the flooring is supported by engineered I-Joists which results in the use smaller trees vs traditional 2x's made of much larger timber. The Pex plumbing system with the use of a manifold provides great savings in heating water due to the fact that water takes a direct route to each applicance allowing the water heater to be set to a much lower temperature than required with a traditional copper system. So if you replace the A/C with a more efficient unit and use the masonry heater, you may be looking at an annual utility cost of $1,000 instead of the current $2,400.Property Description
