SOLD OUT!
Get a first-hand look at an under-construction 'Zero Energy' home in Portland
Earth Advantage would like to welcome our Sustainable Homes Professionals (SHPs) and Earth Advantage Builders to join us for a guided CE tour of this Earth Advantage Zero Energy certified home. The home features advanced exterior envelope and mechanical systems that will significantly reduce power needs and allow rooftop solar PV to supply all the energy needed for the home.
Take an in-person look at the home's features and hear real world recommendations on how to achieve 'Zero Energy' from the builder, architect and EA's own Senior Green Building Consultant, Ryan Shanahan.
The home is currently being built by Josh Salinger (SHP, EA Builder) of Birdsmouth Construction and was designed by Keyan Mizani (SHP) and Alexia Zerbinis of eM/Zed Architecture. This is the architect's future home, and will feature several highly efficient and healthy home characteristics:
- Advanced envelope (exterior insulation, ICF foundation walls, insulated basement, advanced air sealing)
- ​High efficiency mechanical systems (heat-pump hot water heater, mini-split heat-pump, HRV system)
- Ultra-efficient window package
- 3⁄4” rainscreen to ventilate behind siding
- Extended overhangs (3’ to 5’) for weather protection
- Low/No-VOC materials
- Cork, bamboo, tile, and linoleum/marmoleum hard-surface flooring
- Standing seam metal roof
- Additional durable, high quality materials and features
After the tour, participants are invited to attend Earth Advantage's 2017 Zero Energy Celebration & Deck Party (RSVP required) beginning at 5PM at our SW Portland office.
The exact addresses for the home tour will be emailed to those that RSVP.Questions? Contact Heather Kendall at hkendall@earthadvantage.org or (503) 968-7160 x20
