The home features an airtight building enclosure; continuous exterior insulation; a balanced fresh-air exchange ventilation system with heat recovery; carefully designed and detailed windows and doors; and a singular, centrally-located, heat-pump conditioning system. The building materials used during enclosure construction are plant-based, largely recycled, and most have obtained Declare Label certification from the Living Future Institute.
