Designed by architect Arielle Condoret, this thoroughly green residence sits above a knoll overlooking the Haw River in Chatham County. The most important green feature is livability, with an open Floorplan, cross ventilation, and bright, day-lit spaces to enjoy life on the river. Among the many features that elevate the house to at or near Net Zero status are: -22.5 KW PV Rooftop Solar Array -Energy Recovery Ventilator -R-75 Roof Insulation -Air to Brine Geothermal Heat Pump for heating and cooling system - 3 geothermal wells -Triple glazed European Passive House windows and doors, including a 20-foot wide sliding glass door on the riverside elevation -Water catchment system. The butterfly roof funnels 100% of the rainwater into two, 5,000 gallon above-ground cisterns leading to a triple filtering system including a UV system to kill 99.9% of the bacteria that may appear in the rainwater -Solar reflective shades installed on the exterior of the deck, critical for deflecting solar heat gain from the western sun
