Another #passivehouse creation in the #Catskills! Ever wonder about these types of projects? They are carbon neutral homes that are self-sustaining, which create the same amount of renewable energy that it expends, therefore creating zero carbon emissions. Stay tuned as we shore more of this beauty, including the interior!

POST BIOCLIMATIQUE.

On a plusieurs installations (certaines en projet) qui permettent de garder une température acceptable à l’intérieur en période de forte chaleur 🥵
(Et sans mettre de clim ça va de soi)
L’isolation (et l’inertie), les casquettes, le by-pass de la VMC, le BSO dans la chambre, l’exposition, les arbres 🌳, la végétalisation des murs, etc. Tout ça fonctionne ensemble 🙌🏻

Mais la grande baie vitrée du salon, exposée Ouest et en double vitrage, laisse trop entrer la chaleur à notre goût, même avec la casquette (qui aurait pu être plus longue).
On a prévu une voile d’ombrage type filet de camouflage qui sera posé au-dessus de la terrasse, mais dans cet angle sud-ouest du jardin, ça tape ☀️
On a donc étudié sur sketchup la possibilité de planter un chêne qui ferait de l’ombre sur la façade de la maison.
On a géolocalisé l’emplacement de l’arbre un 2 juillet à 16h pour se rendre compte et trouver la bonne ombre sans être gêné 👍🏻
.
De toute façon on n’a jamais assez d’arbres 😅

We like to think we celebrate #earthday everyday! ...by creating spaces that let the outdoors 🌿 take center stage as well as limiting energy consumption for heating and cooling through #passivehouse construction.
If you are building new or doing a major renovation, it’s the best way to the most comfortable and sustainable living environment! ✨

#repost buildwithrise Are you losing energy through old, drafty doors? It might be time for an upgrade..

Passive house doors are primarily built to tackle energy efficiency. So they're much thicker, more insulated (higher R-values), minimize or eliminate thermal bridging, and more considerable attention is paid to air sealing!

What is Passive and why did we go for it?

A Passive House is essentially a very well insulated house that is primarily heated from solar gain (i.e. heat from the sun, shining through big thick windows)

Passive houses are THE most energy efficient houses out there. In classic #BER terms it's an A1 or A0 rating with minimal overall energy costs to run.

There's lots of ways a passive house can be achieved thanks to advances in material sciences.

Lots of benefits for the owners and not just financial: passive houses are healthier houses, with clean fresh air mechanically circulated through the house.

Also without radiators, boiler, oil tanks etc there are less things to go wrong or require servicing and maintenance!

We are really looking forward to starting our #PassiveHouseBuild

Continuons exterior insulation combined with a rain screen are two very helpful elements that will protect your wall from having issues in the future. Think of them like a seatbelt and an airbag. Its just so much saver to have them. Some walls do fine without them but accidents happen and when they do you are much better of if you have integrated these wide accepted best building practices.
