Expanding soybean-based foam insulation ensures airtight comfort without any off-gassing of toxic chemicals. High-gain, Low-E windows maximize passive solar warmth in the winter and reflect heat during the summer months. A passive hydronic heating system warms the entire home and supplies consistent hot water for showers, the kitchen, and all bathrooms delivering year-round comfort with minimal cost. This system is supported by a backup electric tankless E-Max unit. Above the garage, a living rooftop garden enhances insulation while offering the potential for imaginative future expansion, whether as a guest suite or a garden-top lakeview lounge. The home's steeply sloped roof is designed to naturally shed snow from the panels, supported by a backup heat-melt system that has never even needed to be used.
