The goal of this project was to build a home that is comfortable, energy efficient, and sustainable. It was also designed to be wheelchair friendly with a primary bedroom and all main service functions on the main floor. The project includes many renewable systems including solar panels, green pipe water supply lines, and rainwater harvesting for toilets and irrigation. Hyper-efficient mechanical systems such as heat pumps and an energy recovery ventilation system (ERV) were also used. The high performance shell includes triple pane windows and exterior insulation. This paired with the high R-value interior insulation creates an air-tight envelop. The hardwood flooring is sustainably harvested as is the exterior cedar siding.

This project is certified through Earth Advantage. You can see the progress on Instagram #cullynetzero.
