Photography by Natalie Marotta Bungalows are lovable homes, but how can they be better? Along with many of our clients, we find that older (early 20th c.) homes have a lot of character and a comfortable scale, but are leaky, damp (especially in the basement), have fair to poor air quality, and use unconscionable amounts of fossil fuels to heat. The owners of this bungalow were ready to change that, and wanted to do so with minimal upfront carbon emissions as well. The gut renovation included replacing the basement slab and providing capillary breaks and insulation continuously below grade. The brick structure was treated with a fluid-applied air and water barrier from the interior and insulated entirely with cellulose, a carbon-storing insulation. The roof used HFO-blown spray foam to provide sufficient insulation while allowing headroom for bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry. One great benefit of a full renovation is the possibility of reconfiguring spaces to suit the family’s lifestyle, and to make the best of indoor-outdoor connections. We opened up the main rooms on the first floor, creating a family gathering spot with a view to the back yard, and a spacious kitchen that supports the family’s commitment to cooking for healthy eating. The stair uses a north-facing skylight to bring light from above into the middle of the home, where it was previously dark. As a decarbonization retrofit, the inefficient furnace was replaced with two small ducted heat pump systems, water heating and clothes drying are powered by air-source heat pumps, and cooking uses an induction cooktop plus electric ovens. Energy recovery ventilation provides filtered fresh air continuous exhaust from the kitchen, baths, and laundry, and supplies fresh, highly filtered air to bedrooms and living spaces. The Better Bungalow now makes sense for the 21st century–it now fits the owners’ life-patterns, is super comfortable, has great air quality, and uses a fraction of the energy it did before, greatly lowering the demand on the utility grid. In the near future, when solar PV is installed, it can achieve net zero or near net zero emissions, and with battery backup, can provide great resilience in the event of power outages.

This North Dartmouth, MA homeowner is enjoying her beautiful year round sunroom! After years of wanting a sunny retreat for her home – this customer finally hired Care Free Homes to make that sunroom dream a reality! Featuring Low E Argon, insulated, double pane windows and a scenisunroom dartmouth, mac view of her backyard, the homeowner chose sliding windows (one active and one fixed) to invite a gentle breeze in warmer weather. A single, full view, thermal insulated passage door steps out to the backyard. Trapezoid openings are currently enclosed with insulated foam panels that can be upgraded to insulated glass in the future. Tongue and groove pine panels, installed both vertically and horizontally, were painted white to add a coastal New England flair. Past customers have also added the warmth of wood to their sunroom by opting for beautiful wood plank ceilings. To accommodate the homeowners request for a large sunroom, engineering required the construction of both a conventionally framed asphalt roof and an aluminum clad 6-inch foam filled structural roof panel. The conventionally framed roof is a GAF Timberline HD Lifetime roofing system which boasts a 50 year, factory registered warranty. (Interested in a GAF Timberline HD Lifetime roof? Learn more about the anatomy of a GAF roof with this blog.) This room features a non pro-rated, transferable 50 year structural warranty which adds value to the home by giving the next homeowner the same sense of security.

Paul Despenas: Homeowners from Dows, Iowa have done business with Midwest Construction back in 2005 when they purchased replacement windows for, Chad Arndt. Chad has worked with these homeowners since they started replacing their windows with him and they always told Chad when the time comes we want to discuss the possibility of adding on a sunroom. In 2016 Chad was issued an appointment to his previous customer stating they wanted to pursue the cost of a sunroom. Chad spent some time with them finding out what their wants and needs for a room the homeowners were determined they wanted to use it all year if that was a possibility. Chad came up with some designs and pricing and they decided on the Oasis All Season Sunroom!

This gorgeous contemporary custom wine cellar features a slew of modern touches, from the sleek and seamless style the vintageview racking provides, to the floor to ceiling display, to the dual paned insulated glass front. Everything about this custom wine room screams "Here I am!" The design also allows for intimate wine decanting inside the cellar itself. This custom wine cellar was constructed in Carlsbad, San Diego, California. It is comprised of vintageview metal wine racks, stone flooring, and some wooden custom wine racking. The entryway wall and custom wine cellar door are of seamless, tempered and insulated dual pane glass.The result is a sleek wine storage space, and a distinctly contemporary wine cellar design by Vintage Cellars. Glass enclosed cellars are becoming the hottest new trend in proper wine storage. Seen in many high end contemporary homes, this style beautifully showcases the wine's individual labels, with the unique metal horizontal display label forward design. Small wine rooms encased in glass are unique in their behind the scenes design and installation. After the room has been built properly, ensuring proper cooling can be troublesome without the proper guidance from a wine cellar expert. The wine cellar specialists and wine cellar builders at Vintage Cellars are extremely knowledgable and qualified in calculating the best possible fit for each unique space. Most often, glass enclosed wine cellars need to be fitted with a larger cooling unit than may seem necessary. Glass - even when dual paned and insulated - is not a great insulator. Understanding the ins and outs of wine cellar construction and wine cellar design from a knowledgeable company like Vintage Cellars is key in ensuring your wine cellar runs smoothly and your wine investment is properly taken care of. This space also boasts a nice little countertop with glass front cabinet storage above and diamond bins and drawers below.

LEED certification level: Platinum. Builder: GCCM Construction Services LLC dba UberGreen Spaces & Homes. Mark Twain said it best, "If the world were to end today I'd move to Kentucky because they are 20 years behind everyone else." There is some truth to that because Kentuckians believe that 'if it aint broke dont fix it'. We designed and built Kentucky's first LEED Platinum Net Zero Energy Net Zero Water home in the private sector. We named the home 'My Green Kentucky Home' playing off the state song 'My Old Kentucky Home'. Our take on a home should have people and the planet in mind. We found LEED to be the best most credible third-party green certification program to address these important challenges today. The envelope of the home was designed to minimize energy losses and maximize inside comfort by using Insulated Concrete Form walls from the footers to the roof, spray foam and blown in cellulose in the attic, rigid foam beneath the Lower Level basement slab and triple-pane fully insulated casement windows. The home was oriented with the back facing south to maximize daylighting, passive heating in the winter and solar production. Our HVAC is geothermal with a storage tank to preheat domestic water. A fresh air system was installed in the return side of the HVAC system to filter and then mix with supply air to the home. All paints were zero VOC. The reclaimed KY horse farm fencing turned into beautiful hardwood floors was finished with a low VOC sealer. Carpets were low VOC and the 100% recycled padding was zero VOC. The custom cabinets for the kitchen and baths were made locally and built with FSC certified plywood with no added formaldehyde. The home collects 100% of the rainwater that hits the roof into a 3,300 gallon rainwater collection tank. The primary use of the collected water is to irrigate the lawns, landscaped beds and supply the hose bibs. When the tank is low it automatically shuts the tank valve and opens the city water valve to operate with city water pressure until the tank fills past a certain level, saving electricity and wear and tear on the pump. The cistern is designed to service all the homes domestic water needs when KY State Plumbing code will allow it in the future. All appliances are Energy Star and locally made by GE. The counter tops on all cabinets are recycled materials and durable without requiring sealers or maintenance. We went a step further for indoor air quality and installed AirRenew drywall by Certainteed which works like trees do in the environment by pulling in VOC's into the drywall and making it inert. The Florida Tile was made in Kentucky with recycled content. We monitor all utility usage per electrical circuit and monitor the amount of energy produced by the solar panels as well helping the owners make more informed decisions. The home was such a hit that it was the catalyst that sparked development in a dormant neighborhood of vacant lots. We had the home open for three months to the public where hundreds of folks toured it as it was laid out like an art museum. We had actual walls open all the way to the outside layer of ICF insulation where they saw the concrete and steel inside the walls. We also had the lower level basement slab cut open to show how we insulate beneath the concrete and how we drain and mitigate radon. It was a super inspirational project that made people think about people and the planet much differently than before. We hope to continue making great projects like these to help inspire, educate and create awareness around some of the most important topics and challenges we face today. Thank you to everyone at the USGBC for helping us make this happen and the great work you do every day!
