The EcoDynamic™ House Explained

The EcoDynamic™ houses of the Greentech Housing Company are far from being merely houses in the "commodity" sense of the word. These are literally "cost-saving machines"... sustainable, energy-efficient, and built with a minimum of waste.

They are the product of new thinking about what makes a house work, each design an integrated package of ideas that perform together to create efficiencies and livability features that put these houses in a class of their own.

Bruce Hampton, the chief architect and Mark Kelly the chief energy engineer worked in close collaboration at every step of the design process to assure demonstrable superiority in all key areas including:

• Architectural design -- calculating how to maximize light and keep the living spaces ample and free-flowing. At the same time specifying high-quality components that assure maximum energy conservation and fast recovery of investment. Incorporating decks and porches and architectural details that make the houses proud and distinctive.
• Sustainable design-- using materials that last, that don’t require frequent repainting, that are environmentally friendly.
• Systems engineering-- designing heating and hot water systems that save owners far more than the initial cost.
• Whole-building energy design--. designing in features that prevent the building from leaking air, creating proper and efficient ventilation, balancing the way the spaces are heated so the house is always comfortable the air is always healthy and the energy use is always low.
• Shop Drawing Generation-- creating final plans that can be readily translated into shop drawings that lead to a finished product that is mistake free.
• Process Control-- employing manufacturing standards, protocols and procedures that are proven to be effective, repeatable and predictable.

All of these factors combine in an EcoDynamic™ House to produce exceptional advantages:

• 60% less energy use
• 50% fewer air pollutants
• 40% improved indoor air quality
• 10% less water use
