New Zero-Energy House Filled With Natural Light

This light-filled, energy-efficient household house in a suburban area of Portland, Oregon, was created and constructed to exacting green requirements by design-build company Green Hammer, concentrating on healthy indoor air quality, low carbon emissions and sustainably sourced products– all with a Pacific Northwest style style. “This household wished to lower their ecological footprint by constructing a house that satisfied a zero-energy objective. They desired a modern, commercial style with lots of natural light,” states Stephen Aiguier, creator and president of Green Hammer.

After taking down the previous home, which had mold and rot, the Green Hammer group sited the brand-new house “to make the most of daytime and solar power production and deepen connections to nature,” Aiguier states. There’s a rain garden to record stormwater overflow and, within, a sophisticated particle filter that does air quality task– a requirement to filter out smoke particles after wildfires in the last few years.

” Our customers understood they wished to develop and develop a healthy house with a little carbon footprint. Since Green Hammer has twenty years of experience producing low-to-zero-energy houses, they connected to us to discuss their job,” Aiguier states. “They likewise wished to produce areas for their kids to check out, produce and play, along with an extensive and naturally lit dining-kitchen location to amuse visitors. Their feline, Arthur, who is a vital part of their household, even got their own secured outside backyard– a catio.”
