NW EcoBuilding Guild Green Home Tour – April 29
H2D Architecture + Design and Carlisle Classic Homes are excited to announce that one of our recent projects will be featured on the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild Green Home Tour on Saturday, April 29, 2023! The featured home, the Nearly Passive Blue Ridge Custom Home, recently completed construction and is an amazing example of sustainable construction materials and methods, in addition to showcasing a variety of unique design features. This high-performance energy efficient home boasts cutting edge technologies for foundations, walls and ventilation systems combined with a beautiful design.
The foundation is designed with ICF (insulated concrete forms) to reduce transfer of heat (thermal bridging). The walls are designed with a combination of products including cellulose insulation, Gutex interlocking wood fiber board panels, Zip sheathing and tape, Mento house wrap, and a mesh rain screen. These technologies work together to provide a highly insulated wall system with a continuous layer of insulation that reduces thermal bridging, creates a water resistant and airtight barrier, and allows moisture to escape. Other unique design features include an Attached Accessory Dwelling Unit (AADU) connected to the house with a hidden steel door, residential elevator for accessible access to all three floors of the home, gourmet kitchen, custom cabinetry with many numerous features, custom tile work, and great views of the Puget Sound.
