This green building was designed and built for Pat Britton. The design and construction were considered very carefully to provide low cost, also efficient construction process. The eco construction is built with a double-wall frame and offset 2×4 studs, providing thermal bridging reduction. Insulation of blown-in blanket of fiberglass to R32 is also provided. For the basement, R38 is used, and for roof cavity, R60 is used.
