MOTIVATED SELLER! LEED Platinum certified! Healthy living + net positive energy paired with distinct modern architecture are the hallmarks of this exceptional Vali Home. Eco-efficiencies of this caliber make the cost of maintaining this home very affordable. Open floorplan features 12’ telescoping 3-panel sliding glass door, which opens to a private courtyard. 4 kw solar power covers all current electric usage(owned). Renewable/natural materials include sealed concrete floors, steel cladding/fencing panels & dense cellulose insulation made of recycled newspaper. Construction details: 2” x 6” construction, 2” thick foam roof, 3-zone 19 SEER mini split HVAC system, air-tight,high-efficiency windows/doors, sub-slab ventilation, whole house 24/7 ventilation & LED+florescent lighting.

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
-2″ foam roof with 10 year “no leak” warranty through Star Roofing
-Stego wrap vapor barrier under house slab . A 4″ pipe connects under the Stego vapor wrap with the exterior, at least 12″ above the house. This pipe carries radon gas and moisture-rich air to the exterior, which prevents pressure, radon and moisture build-up, while keeping them out of the home
-Exterior building envelope features energy-efficient thermal insulation boards
-Entire exterior is insulated with 1″ foam, which provides a continuous r-6 insulation
-R-27 insulation rating in walls
-R-65 insulation rating in ceilings
-Airtight, high-efficiency, solid wood framed/aluminum clad dual pane Windsor windows and doors, including telescoping 12′ compass door system in great room
-24″ spacing between studs (16″ is standard)
-2′ x 6′ exterior wall construction
-3,570 watt Photovoltaic system. Sun Valley Solar provided an upsized inverter, which allows the solar panels to be expanded by another 1.6 kilowatts, if the future homeowner decides to purchase an electric car. The system is sized to generate as much power as the home uses over the year. The swing of summer power use is also minimal since the load on the cooling system is about 25% of a standard new home and as low as 10% of an older block home
-All walls and ceiling space are packed full of no-VOC dense pack cellulose. (made from recycled old newspaper)
-With smart passive solar design, an airtight shell and 24 hour fresh air with heat recovery every square foot of your home can stay perfectly comfortable all day, all year with minimal energy penalties (and no need for ceiling fans!)
-Fantech heat recovery ventilator supplies a continuous supply of fresh air into a home, while exhausting an equal amount of contaminated air with wall-remote ventilation control system
-Ductless mini-split, high-efficiency Fujitsu wall and ceiling mounted air conditioner systems
-The only ductwork is 4 and 5″ ducts for the fresh air system. Monthly maintenance savings come from much smaller air filters and a washable pre-filter. Long term savings come from reduced replacement cost and longer lifespans due to the reduced load on the system
-On the exterior, rusted steel panels with 1″ air gap provide high insulation value and deliver an exciting contemporary look with zero future maintenance (unlike common stucco or painted surfaces.)
