Green Home with no furnace in Falmouth, Maine

Published 2012-11-05
This is a green home built in 2009 in Falmouth , Maine. The design uses traditional, simple forms with thoughtfully placed windows and overhangs to take advantage of the views and to create a livable, open and modest plan. The home is constructed with double-thick walls, triple glazed windows, and a well-insulated, radiant slab, including innovative detailing throughout. The increased level of performance created by this building system, along with solar tubes on the roof, will allow the occupants to significantly downsize their mechanical system and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels at a cost of less than $175 per square foot (excluding garage/porch).
