STRUCTURAL & EXTERIOR SIGNIFICANCE:

Foundation built out of ARXX Insulated Concrete Forms.

Exterior walls are built using concrete EverLogs™ offering 1.5" rigid foam insulation enclosed within 6" of structural concrete. Additional insulation between the interior framing results in an average exterior wall that exceeds R30.

100% of the home's exterior has a 4-hour minimum fire rating. The rest of the home is concrete, stone, glass, and cement tile roof.

Lumber is absolutely straight, will not warp, and resist moisture problems.

ELECTRICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

Lutron HomeWorks system - low voltage wiring, full lighting control capability and programming, professionally designed and engineered lighting scenes, energy efficient bulbs with a 15+ year lifespan.

Full low voltage pre-wire package complete with home security system and state of the art home entertainment system that has full integration into Lutron Home Works system for ease of use.

MECHANICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

Unico High Velocity Airhandlers - 3 units total with less than 5% loss due to duct leakage.

Provides air conditioning to lower, main, and uper levels.

100% hydronic heating and cooling for efficiency reasons.

Solar thermal panels; located on south facing 8/12 pitch roof provide all domestic hot water needs of the home.

Photo voltaic solar panels located on south facing 4/12 pitch roof provide enough power to run all refrigeration compressors. Total of 9 in the home.

Radiant heat in entire lower level and radiant heat in all hard surface/stone floors at main and upper levels.

2 hot water re-circulation lines. Upper floor is activated by a motion sensor near stairs for efficiency reasons.

INSULATION SIGNIFICANCE:

Energy Star Certified

Average exterior wall thickness is 12".

Entire thermal envelope sealed with Isonene.

Average R-Value of exterior walls exceeds R30.

Average R-Value of ceiling and vaults exceeds R50.
