Sustainable implementation in producing energy is more than its consumption annually this house achieves a minus 22 HERS index. Caused of that point, the power haus is labeled as the lowest recorded by Energy Star and the DOE Builder's Challenge.

It is a shining example of the level of performance and sustainability that can be achieved while maintaining an high standard of quality and comfort.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Power Haus received a minus 22 HERS index, the lowest ever recorded by Energy Star and the DOE Builder’s Challenge. It is the highest scoring LEED for Homes Platinum ever certified (pending verification). Power Haus is also at the top of the FGBC standard and NAHB’s National Green Building Standard.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Design plays a huge part in Power Haus’ performance and livability. Passive ventilation, passive cooling and passive lighting go hand in hand with the desired ability to open the home to the expansive views of the hardwood swamp upon which the home is situated. In many ways, it is difficult to determine the line between indoors and out. That is quite difficult to accomplish in the hot, moist climate of the central west coast of Florida. Since few materials are up to the challenge presented by this climate, product specification and construction techniques were very important. Polished concrete floors, clay walls over mold resistant drywall, native cypress timbers used for doors, trim, cabinets and roof framing all lend to the ‘Contemporary Florida Cracker’ vernacular while offering stellar performance against the elements.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Power Haus is a beautiful home that compromises nothing while managing to shatter the ceilings perceived to exist in luxury green home building."</div><br />Photographs: <a href="http://www.mccourtneyphotographics.com/McCourtney_Photographics.html" target="_blank">McCourtney Photographics </a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The interior living areas are conceived as wooden volumes nestled within an outer stucco “shell”. The shell provides generous eight-foot overhangs, which shelter the walls of glass from the Florida sun. A narrow courtyard amplifies the arrival experience and creates a privacy barrier for the private realm of the home.</blockquote></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote class="tr_bq">The home incorporates important passive environmental design concepts that result in abundant day-lighting and cross-ventilation potential. Glazing on the south elevation is extremely limited and a mature oak tree filters afternoon solar heat gain. Active environmental design features include a solar photovoltaic system, solar hot-water heaters, geothermal HVAC and LED lighting.</blockquote></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote class="tr_bq">The one-story home, located on a Central Florida lake, contains four bedrooms and a kitchen, dining room, living room and office.
