Whitewebs Lane House

    • Clifton View Homes built this 1,852-square-foot home in Greenbank, Washington, to the performance criteria of the U.S. Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program. The south-facing roof is designed to hold enough solar photovoltaic panels to power the home and an electric car.
    • This home is expected to save $880 per year in energy costs after cutting energy consumption in half. The walls are constructed with structural insulated panels that require less assembly time on site than stick-built homes and provide continuous insulation with almost no thermal bridging (or heat transfer through wall studs).
    • The home's simple design reduces construction costs and increases energy efficiency by minimizing breaks in the thermal envelope.
    • The home was equipped with a high-efficiency ENERGY STAR refrigerator, dishwasher, and clothes washer for energy and water savings.
    • All lights are high-efficiency compact fluorescents or light emitting diodes (LEDs).
    • The home meets the requirements of the EPA Indoor airPLUS certification including the use of low- and no-VOC structural wood products, primer, paint, cabinets, and flooring.
    • All plumbing fixtures are low-flow water-saving fixtures.
    • The wall to the right shows tape covering the seam where two structural insulated panels (SIPs) join. SIPs sandwich a block of foam insulation between two panels of oriented strand board. Taping the seam helps to block air leaks and provides draft protection.
    • Triple-pane ultra-efficient windows are used throughout the house.
    • Outside air that is ducted into the home passes through a HEPA filter, which helps remove allergens and dust before the fresh air is distributed through the home.
