3 Interdependent Strategies

1 — Solar Energy

Passive solar design and auxiliary photovoltaic solar panels harness the sun’s energy.

2 — Thermal Envelope

A highly insulated and airtight envelope (foundation, walls, roof, windows and exterior doors) preserves the energy (heating and cooling) the house uses.

3 — Air Quality

A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) provides healthy indoor air quality, while two air-sourced heat pumps (mini-splits) provide balanced heating and cooling.
