This eco friendly
Passive Solar House is nestled among mature
trees and has a lean, "green" design
that still puts style and comfort in the fore front.
It stays apart from the crowd equally for its elegance and grace,
and its eco friendly
Passive Solar Design
and
Construction.
Behind the walls, the modern home blends a
high-performance
building envelope with
passive solar,
zero energy
technologies that minimize its ecological impact. Set on a south
facing slope, the house takes advantage of natural daylight.
A south-facing glazed
Green House
absorbs sun to heat the house
during the cold winters.
The clerestory located high in a central wall near the eaves
allows additional daylight into a building interior, and may be used for
ventilation and solar heat gain.
As the sun travels across the sky, its rays hit and reflect
through the glass at different angles for an
ever-changing spectrum of color and shape.
This smart home is
1,500 sq.ft. | 1 story | 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom | 1 car garage.
It includes a
Green house,
Clerestory, a lush
Green living roof,
a
Solar-Electric Generation
System, a Rain-Water Collection System and a
Constructed Wetland for treatment of grey water to minimize its
environmental impact
without compromising on convenience or lavish comforts.
