So, we were wrapping birthday presents in the local newspaper when we noticed Jon’s picture on the front page. He recently went to visit a house on which the owner had done a deep energy retrofit. The article points to some of the more extreme things that can be done to make a very efficient house. On our blog, we expect to talk more about things that most people can do with out making big lifestyle changes, however, this article is an interesting read and they have some nice pictures of Jon at the house.
Enjoy!
Happy Greening,
Alicia
The unobstructed southern exposure and optimizied roof angle make this 2 family house optimum for the 11 panel flat plate solar thermal system installed. The solar panels should provide all of the heat and hot water needs in this Medford home (New England winters).
The siding is local pine that has back ventilation.
