Lincoln Farmhouse
LEED-H Platinum, Net-Positive Energy
OVERVIEW. This LEED Platinum certified modern farmhouse ties into the cultural landscape of Lincoln, Massachusetts - a town known for its rich history, farming traditions, conservation efforts, and visionary architecture. The goal was to design and build a new single family home on 1.8 acres that respects the neighborhood’s agrarian roots, produces more energy than it consumes, and provides the family with flexible spaces to live-play-work-entertain. The resulting 2,800 SF home is proof that families do not need to compromise on style, space or comfort in a highly energy-efficient and healthy home.
CONNECTION TO NATURE. The attached garage is ubiquitous in new construction in New England’s cold climate. This home’s barn-inspired garage is intentionally detached from the main dwelling. A covered walkway connects the two structures, creating an intentional connection with the outdoors between auto and home.
FUNCTIONAL FLEXIBILITY. With a modest footprint, each space must serve a specific use, but also be flexible for atypical scenarios. The Mudroom serves everyday use for the couple and their children, but is also easy to tidy up to receive guests, eliminating the need for two entries found in most homes. A workspace is conveniently located off the mudroom; it looks out on to the back yard to supervise the children and can be closed off with a sliding door when not in use. The Away Room opens up to the Living Room for everyday use; it can be closed off with its oversized pocket door for secondary use as a guest bedroom with en suite bath.
NET POSITIVE ENERGY. The all-electric home consumes 70% less energy than a code-built house, and with measured energy data produces 48% more energy annually than it consumes, making it a 'net positive' home. Thick walls and roofs lack thermal bridging, windows are high performance, triple-glazed, and a continuous air barrier yields minimal leakage (0.27ACH50) making the home among the tightest in the US. Systems include an air source heat pump, an energy recovery ventilator, and a 13.1kW photovoltaic system to offset consumption and support future electric cars.
ACTUAL PERFORMANCE. -6.3 kBtu/sf/yr Energy Use Intensity (Actual monitored project data reported for the firm’s 2016 AIA 2030 Commitment. Average single family home is 52.0 kBtu/sf/yr.)
o 10,900 kwh total consumption (8.5 kbtu/ft2 EUI)
o 16,200 kwh total production
o 5,300 kwh net surplus, equivalent to 15,000-25,000 electric car miles per year. 48% net positive.
WATER EFFICIENCY. Plumbing fixtures and water closets consume a mere 60% of the federal standard, while high efficiency appliances such as the dishwasher and clothes washer also reduce consumption rates.
FOOD PRODUCTION. After clearing all invasive species, apple, pear, peach and cherry trees were planted. Future plans include blueberry, raspberry and strawberry bushes, along with raised beds for vegetable gardening. The house also offers a below ground root cellar, built outside the home's thermal envelope, to gain the passive benefit of long term energy-free food storage.
RESILIENCY. The home's ability to weather unforeseen challenges is predictable - it will fare well. The super-insulated envelope means during a winter storm with power outage, heat loss will be slow - taking days to drop to 60 degrees even with no heat source. During normal conditions, reduced energy consumption plus energy production means shelter from the burden of utility costs. Surplus production can power electric cars & appliances. The home exceeds snow & wind structural requirements, plus far surpasses standard construction for long term durability planning.

The gate is made entirely out of corrosion resistant aluminum. The gate is also powder coated for long-lasting colorfast. Lightweight aluminum does not sacrifice strength. Due to the lightweight, a light-duty gate opener can be installed at a lower cost, and will also bring about lower electrical costs. You can see a video of this gate in operation at: https://youtu.be/WV6DTahukhY

Green Solar Technologies has installed a photovoltaic system for Derek of Fleming, CO. GST walked him through the solar process which was quick and thorough. We were able to engineer a solar energy system to meet his electricity requirements living in this wonderful home as well as collect all necessary permits from the city. Derek’s system consisted of 20 solar panels manufactured in the USA by SolarWorld and a SolarEdge inverter system with convenient monitoring access 24/7.
With a solar panel installation, you can increase your property value, drastically reduce your electricity costs, cut pollution and toxic waste, and become energy independent. GST has helped thousands make the switch go solar.

Talk about stunning bachelor pad! This Yaletown open concept suite was purchased and renovated with wow factor. No detail was overlooked.
The kitchen was standard gloss cabinets found in most developments over the last 5-10 years. The new owner wanted something different and custom. We decided to cool down the colours and install dark and natural woods to make the loft beams pop.
The totally re-vamped kitchen features matte flat panelled grey cabinetry with a contrasting raw oak island and panelled integrated fridge with matching panty. The appliances are all condo sized energy efficient European models featuring a 30” fridge, 4 burner gas stove and a panelled dishwasher drawer. This kitchen’s long island offers plenty of storage and can seat many at the counter for entertaining despite it’s only 750 sq ft total size. We installed a Grohe Blu sparkling faucet to ensure sparkling water is always on tap and ready when entertaining. This was a nice splurge that any guest or home owner will appreciate for years to come.
The kitchen was re-configured to wrap existing pot lights into kitchen valences in order to keep electrical costs down. This special feature is ingenious as it illuminates all the new millwork without additional electrical work. Under counter valence lighting was also installed on a dimmer, so lighting can be controlled.
The living room matches the kitchen, it features a large TV and custom chunky floating millwork which ties in the large character beams throughout the unit. Peekaboo views of the concrete walls can be seen which add to the dimension of the wood floating shelf.
This is a home anyone would be happy to spend a few hours in, the only worry is guest come and they will not want to leave!
