Energy Efficient Design
|
| • |
Windows are sized and positioned to provide good daylight and natural ventilation. |
|
| • |
South-facing glazing is 13% of the finish floor area. Concrete and tile floors
provide thermal
mass to prevent high midday internal temperatures in the summer or on sunny winter days. |
|
| • |
The roof is oriented and sloped to receive solar hot water and photovoltaic panels. |
|
| • |
Framing details avoid thermal bridging and reduce lumber costs. |
|
| • |
Insulation levels are higher than the code requirement. |
