Eco Build – New Home

Here is a great example of an energy efficient SIP house. The interior ceiling take advantage of the naturally thin SIP roof panels which allow for a dramatic-vaulted ceiling, with clerestories, lined with cedar.
The exposed beams are mounted 8 feet apart to pick up the edges of the SIP panels. This house the additional advantage of evacuated tube solar heating, (the arrays are mounted on the side of the building) as well as solar panels (not shown) for electricity.

The exterior is sided with lap siding on the lower part and shingles on the gable ends. Alpha was invited back to endorse the open porch for a guest room.
