Follow on Google News | Zetland Homes LLC Demonstration Green Home Wins National Dream Home AwardNew Hampshire custom green home builder Zetland Homes LLC wins Silver Dream Home Award for Green Home of the Year
The Demonstration Green Home (www.zetlandparade.com) “Our main focus with the Demonstration Green Home was to build a very energy efficient home without it costing a fortune and the judges must have appreciated that” said Steven Reddy of Zetland Homes LLC. The super energy efficiency comes from careful air sealing and the Smart R insulation package developed for the home. “Our Smart R insulation provides an airtight wall with an R value of 25+ without breaking the bank” notes Reddy. Heating, domestic hot water, and air conditioning are provided by a standing column geothermal system which is also designed to keep the installed cost low. The heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system provides filtered fresh air to the homes occupants making it healthy to live in. Other green building features include careful placement of the house on the site, space saving design, low VOC paints, bamboo flooring, recycled content carpet, water saving fixtures, and increased durability built into the home. The Demonstration Green Home also received the 2008 Cornerstone Gold awards for “most energy efficient design” and “best home under $450,000”. Architect Barry Arthur Hoeg helped design the home. National project sponsors include Huber, iLevel by Weyerhaeuser, Kohler, Lennox, Lifebreath, Medallion Cabinetry, Pella, Presby Environmental, and Sherwin-Williams. Many local sponsors participated including Barons Major Brands, Belisle Granite, The Kitchen Connection, Modern Reflections, NH Tile, Protection One, Quality Insulation, Vacman and Bobbin, W. Carpenter, and Your Home Your World. # # # New Hampshire home builder offering choice of new home types including stick built, SIP & ICF, Modular, Log, TImber Frame, and Historic Reproduction.
