About This Project

The "Peace of Mind" project is a remarkable demonstration of sustainable living, seamlessly integrating innovative design with eco-friendly materials to achieve LEED for Homes "Platinum" certification. This 1,267 square foot home is a testament to modern craftsmanship and energy efficiency, boasting a commendable HERS score of 12. This rating indicates that it is 88% more energy efficient than a typical code-built home, showcasing a commitment to sustainability without compromising on comfort or style. Constructed with BuildBlock ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) walls, the residence provides exceptional thermal performance, ensuring a cozy environment year-round. The roof, composed of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), enhances the home’s insulation properties, while also allowing for expansive open spaces and a streamlined aesthetic. The design optimizes passive solar heating, harnessing the natural warmth of the sun to reduce energy consumption, complemented by a radiant heating system for added comfort during colder months. The integration of solar hot water systems and photovoltaic panels further emphasizes the home's energy-saving capabilities, allowing residents to generate their own energy and significantly lower utility bills. The meticulous attention to detail in the construction process is evident in every corner of the home, where high-quality, sustainable materials have been utilized to ensure durability and a minimal environmental footprint. In addition to its impressive energy credentials, the "Peace of Mind" home is also recognized with a ZeroStep "Silver" certification, highlighting its accessibility features. This project not only won GreenBuilder Magazine's "2011 Green Home of the Year Award" but also stands as a model for future developments in eco-conscious living. The combination of thoughtful design, sustainable practices, and superior craftsmanship makes this home not just a residence but a sanctuary of peace and mindfulness in Stanwood, MI.
