| Sustainable Design of Lankford Passive House Posted: 25 Jul 2012 08:03 AM PDT Lankford Passive House is claimed as the first passive house certified by PHIUS in Virginia. This sustainable architecture building was designed by Giovanna Galfione-Cox and John Semmelhack. As a passive house, this green architecture building is completed with several sustainable features to achieve high sustainability and good energy efficiency.
This sustainable building design covers three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms. It meets the airtightness requirement with 0.42 ACH at 50 Pascal. Some sustainable features are included, such as UltimateAir ERV, GE heat pump water heater, and a Mitsubishi mini-split heat pump with two indoor units. Energy star appliances are also used, providing good energy efficiency.
The green construction were done by using several sustainable materials, such as triple-pane Serious Windows 725 Series, FSC-certified framing lumber and plywood, good insulation both on roof and walls, locally-sourced slate, regionally-sourced red oak floors, water-based low-VOC finish, etc. The roof is white, helps to reflect the sun heat.
This environmental green building is ready for sustainable energy from sun light. It is also completed with 1,100-gallon rainwater harvesting system to conserve water.       |
