    Greenwood Powerhouse

    Site Description

    The Greenwood powerhouse project was technically remodeled due to zoning requirements but for all intensive purposes it’s new construction on a “pretty good house model”. We started by deconstructing the house and salvaging all of the lumber for reuse in the new construction.

    The exterior walls have a rain screen that is still visible and 4 1/2 inches of rigid foam insulation. The total R value of R47 the roof assembly has exterior installation with a total R value of R66. The house is wrapped in the Henrys airtight system, the windows are all bucked out and have German high-efficiency passive house standard windows and front door.

    The house has a large S facing roof designed to hold 13 kw. It is heated with a small Mitsubishi Heat Pump, a Sanden Heat Pump Hot Water Heater, and uses the Q600 Zehnder HRV, supplied by small planet. It’s a pretty good house!
