Looking for a dream home! Here it is! Recently, a handful of marvelous architects have built a beautiful dream home for the Adamson family in Boulder. The skilled architects were RMI/Ensar and Fuentes Design and builders. The house features highly insulative walls. This means that it requires no airconditioner or furnace. On the other hand, it features an earth tube and ventilator for heat recovery. Approximately 9.97 KWH solar system is being used inn the home, i.e 75% of energy. Whereas remaining is used for the offsite wind energy. In this house, there is no need of any natural gas. This, results in low embodied energy. Strawbale, reclaimed lumber, cork flooring, ash concrete and earthen plaster are used in this home. So, do not think twice and use the same technology to build your dream green home!
