It is a shining example of the level of performance and sustainability that can be achieved while maintaining an high standard of quality and comfort.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Power Haus received a minus 22 HERS index, the lowest ever recorded by Energy Star and the DOE Builder’s Challenge.

Power Haus is also at the top of the FGBC standard and NAHB’s National Green Building Standard.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Design plays a huge part in Power Haus’ performance and livability. Passive ventilation, passive cooling and passive lighting go hand in hand with the desired ability to open the home to the expansive views of the hardwood swamp upon which the home is situated. In many ways, it is difficult to determine the line between indoors and out. That is quite difficult to accomplish in the hot, moist climate of the central west coast of Florida. Since few materials are up to the challenge presented by this climate, product specification and construction techniques were very important. Polished concrete floors, clay walls over mold resistant drywall, native cypress timbers used for doors, trim, cabinets and roof framing all lend to the ‘Contemporary Florida Cracker’ vernacular while offering stellar performance against the elements.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Power Haus is a beautiful home that compromises nothing while managing to shatter the ceilings perceived to exist in luxury green home building."</div><br />Photographs: <a href="http://www.mccourtneyphotographics.com/McCourtney_Photographics.html" target="_blank">McCourtney Photographics </a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

LEED Platinum was received "like a houseboat". Many kind of home technologies feature this house more eco-friendly and might able adapt with the natural environment such as geothermal heating and cooling system, reusing wood planks.</div><br />Architects: <a href="http://www.shipleyarchitects.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shipley Architects</a><br />Location: Dallas, Texas, USA<br />Architect In Charge: Dan Shipley<br />Builder: Rick Fontenot of <a href="http://constructivegc.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Constructive General Contractors</a><br />Client: Rick & Julie Fontenot<br />Area: 1,490 sqm<br />Year: 2008<br />Photographs: <a href="http://www.csphoto.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charles Davis Smith</a><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Like a Houseboat by Shipley Architects</span>:</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">“Based on location alone, this 1,490-square-foot house takes significant steps toward a reduced carbon footprint. It’s part of Urban Reserve, a development of modern residences in Dallas that sits near a light-rail station and a hiking and biking trail. Along with this proximity to green transportation options, the zero-lot-line community encourages space- efficient house designs. “Just the way it’s planned automatically puts Urban Reserve into a more sustainable category,” says Dan Shipley, FAIA, principal of Dallas-based Shipley Architects.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">But he and the homeowners took the project much further into green territory, ultimately achieving LEED Platinum status. The clients “did all the LEED paperwork,” Shipley confides. “That allowed us to concentrate on designing the house.”</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">One of their biggest challenges was the site’s poor soil quality. The property was once a landfill, and its weak, expansive soil has a low bearing capacity. But Shipley and his staff came up with a creative, cost-effective solution: They floated the house above the earth on steel beams supported by concrete piers. This siting method upped the home’s green quotient, due to its minimal disturbance of the land. The design team even managed to incorporate salvaged wood—2-inch-by-12-inch planks from the dance floor at the clients’ wedding—into the main floor frame.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">A geothermal system heats and cools the house, as is the case in many of the firm’s recent projects. “We’ve been doing geothermal a lot lately,” Shipley says. “People like the idea of it. It uses natural means for the heat exchange, and it gets rid of awkward, clumsy condensing units.” Pressure-treated wood that typically would be used for porch flooring makes an unconventional siding material. “It just goes up quickly,” he notes. And a ramp of metal grating creates a more substantial entry passage into the 20-foot-wide home. “In small houses, the question is always, How do you have a sense of arrival and movement?” he says. “Once you do go in the front door, you’re right there at the kitchen island. The ramp was a way of leveraging or extending the sense of arrival.” The gang-plank-like ramp, along with the home’s compact, floating nature, inspired the nickname “Like a Houseboat."<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
