My parents went on a house tour and Amherst, Massachusetts. They came back raving about the cool the Potwine Passive House! Although, cool may be the wrong word, because even on a crisp New England morning the house was nice and toasty. This was, in part, due to the feature that stuck out to my parents, the flooring.

This home reduces carbon emission while fluidly adapting the temperature of its environment. As the world heats up, this may be a sustainable solution for a comfortable home temperature.
This is great! Just like with the solar panels in your previous post its really interesting how little changes to materials/design can go a long way. I really love ideas such as this where just modifying a material makes homes/buildings more environmentally friendly without a sacrifice. Maybe I am a little bias as I think the concrete flooring looks really aesthetically pleasing too!
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad you like the post, it's such a cool house. I like solutions that only feel like a small change, so they can quickly become part of your routine. That way sustainablity is a progression of 'new normals' instead of a lifechanging upheaval.
