A number of strategies push this home toward energy independence. In warmer months, operable windows allow cooling ocean breezes to pass through the home’s open spaces. Expansive walls of glass let in light year round. An active solar thermal system provides domestic hot water and warms the radiant slab when heat is called for.

#A在有效利用自然资源的研究
Perched on a coastal peninsula near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, this contemporary home is used mostly as a summer residence, but with a design that includes active and passive solar heat, a high-thermal-mass radiant slab floor, and thorough air sealing and insulation, it’s a nice place to be in any season.
Year-round comfort
Owners John and Rosemary wanted to create an environmentally responsible home that could some day run completely off the grid. The six solar hot-water collectors push the house toward energy independence, but the extreme North Atlantic conditions warranted adding a supplemental gas-fired boiler for winter heat. A heat-recovery ventilator brings fresh air into this super-tight home without bringing in the cold.
许多节能的设计元素在温暖的月份真正闪耀，这是房子最充分利用的时候。开放式平面图有19英尺的天花板和不同高度可操作的窗户让凉爽的海风和充足的阳光穿过房子。天花板粉丝帮助房子在风平静时保持凉爽。
Natural resources used wisely
The metal roofing does more than keep the weather out. It directs rain into a 4,000-gallon cistern, for both domestic water and irrigation. So far, the cistern has been the sole water provider, although the home does have a backup well. FSC-certified birch stairs, interior paneling of renewable strawboard, and the engineered lumber used for all structural spans add up to a home that was frugal with resources from the start.
新的激励旧
This was the first time John and Rosemary built a home, and it was also their first experience with sustainable design. It went so well that they recently incorporated similar principles into the renovation of their 1850s home in England.
得到教训
In a perfect world we would use the best techniques and choose the best site and every building would perform to its optimal level. Unfortunately, needs, wants, and available resources don't usually make best-case scenarios practical. Magnificent ocean views mean an exposed site with no natural shelter from the North Atlantic winds.
利用这些观点要求北侧有大量的窗户，进一步复杂化了绝缘绝缘的房屋。Salterre Design将其激情和专业知识应用于充满挑战的局面，并为约翰和迷迭香的喜悦，创造了耐用，舒适，节能的家。
