Champ-a-tee Residence
Environmental & Sustainable Strategies & Features

An integrated project team lead by 2form Architecture has achieved, in the Champ-a-tee residence, a holistic, LEED Gold projected project that combines sustainable design, state-of-the-art technology, and careful material selection.

• DAYLIGHTING: The house achieves optimal daylighting through the careful positioning and sizing of windows, taking advantage of more than just the abundance of views. All windows are energy efficient, featuring LoE-366 glazing with Argon.
• PASSIVE HEATING: A Sunroom figures prominently in the design of the House. Two stories high, with operable clerestory windows, the sunroom passively heats a portion of the house in winter, using the direct gain from thermal mass. A movable, exterior sunscreen protects the sunroom from direct heat gain during the height of summer.
• GEOSOURCE HEAT PUMP: a geosource heat pump provides cooling in the distribution of cold air through a vent system throughout the house. The geosource heat pump also provides warmth through radiant floor heating on all levels of the house.
• THERMAL COMFORT OPTIMIZED BY ZONING: Greater efficiency of the heating and cooling systems is achieved by creating seven distinct zones, all user-controlled.
• LANDSCAPING: Selecting only indigenous and drought-tolerant plants, water use for landscaping is greatly reduced.
• ADVANCED WALL ASSEMBLIES:
• Insulation: The walls and roof feature advanced insulation techniques, using rigid board closed-cell insulation on the exterior side of walls and roof, and open-cell insulation in the cavities. The addition of closed-cell insulation on the exterior of the envelope greatly reduces thermal bridging, air leakage, and moisture condensation in the wall cavity. The use of open-cell insulation was chosen because of its effectiveness and efficiency over traditional batt insulation.
• Weather Barrier: The fully adhered weather barrier provides up to 30% energy savings vs. traditional house-wraps.
• Rain Screen: A rain screen system on the exterior of the house provides extra protection against moisture intrusion, ensuring lasting durability of the house.
• PHOTOVOLTAICS: PV Panels, prominent on the roof of the Garage, provide back-up energy for the house, and a charging station for an electric car.
• SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS:
• Roofing: The standing seam metal roofing, durable and long lasting, are built with high recycled content steel.
• Flooring: Hardwood flooring is of 100% recycled content, and is FSC and FloorScore certified. All tile flooring is of a high recycled content, and all carpeting is GreenLabel Plus certified.
