What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
This home has R15 and R30 insulation in the walls and ceiling. It faces south and has incredible solar gain in the winter which is stored in the tile floors throughout. There are very few small windows on the north side to reduce heat loss in the winter. There is a rain catchment system that has 7,500 gallons of storage which supplies the entire house with all its water needs. The water has a 5 stage filtering system including UV light that ensures it is safe for consumption. All of the appliances are water efficient. For the yard there is well water, so no need to worry about using your stored water for that.Property Description
