Ground up net zero energy home featuring an 11kW rooftop solar array and mechanized windows. Thermal efficiency was maximized by building an air-tight envelope consisting of structural insulated panels and insulating concrete forms. The home employs an air source heat pump for heating and domestic hot water, which is distributed throughout the house via an in-floor hydronic radiant heat system. In addition, a heat recovery ventilation system was installed to refresh the airtight, indoor environment.
