Concord Green Home
2011 EcoHome Design Award Winner
Key to the successful design were the homeowner priorities of family health, energy performance, and optimizing the walk-to-town construction site. To maintain health and air quality, the home features a fresh air ventilation system with energy recovery, a whole house HEPA filtration system, radiant & radiator heating distribution, and low/no VOC materials. The home’s energy performance focuses on passive heating/cooling techniques, natural daylighting, an improved building envelope, and efficient mechanical systems, collectively achieving overall energy performance of 50% better than code. To address the site opportunities, the home utilizes a footprint that maximizes southern exposure in the rear while still capturing the park view in the front.

Natural Light: Light that comes from the sun through windows, skylights, or doors. It creates a dynamic, color accurate atmosphere that changes throughout the day.

I like how this house is very open, and I like the design to it. I would change the lighting around this room though.

I like the natural look with all the windows.
