12-04-26 Pro Tour

Join NESEA for a Pro Tour of an innovative single-family home featuring new wood-frame construction on concrete bond beam over 1892 stone foundation. This interesting project exclusively uses wood stove heating, with ventilation by ducted ERV. There is no mechanical cooling. An attached greenhouse is a classic passive solar heating element, upgraded with contemporary glazing technology. The ventilation concept delivers more fresh air to living spaces than a typical concept. Our day will start with an opening presentation from the project team, including the developer and architect, where attendees will learn about the history of the building, the vision for home, the high-performance work being done there, and the financing strategies making this work possible. Attendees will then break into small groups to tour the facility while hearing more from the interdisciplinary team of experts who made the building possible. After the tour, we’ll regroup for a reception and Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to chat with the day’s speakers and each other. We hope to see you there!
