Energy related certifications of this home include the following: LEED for Homes Platinum;

Energy Star: Earth Advantage Platinum; and Oregon High Performance Home. Beyond its

extraordinary energy performance, numerous other amenities put into context the livability by

which this home has come to be known over several years of operation. Many of

its recognized achievements were celebrated in the 2011 COBA Tour of Homes, which included

the Best of Show award and six other top awards. It was featured in the Central Oregon

Magazine, summer edition and the Green and Solar Tour of Homes, both in 2012.

The 3500 square foot home includes a wide array of features and the unusual provision of

a veterinarian’s clinic, dedicated to the canine members of this family. The home ecology

includes passive solar heating and cooling with a geothermal system that serves the radiant

floor slab. Its renewable resources and green materials and finish as well as sustainable

landscaping are fully compliant with LEED standards. After the first year of operation, its

energy bill was 60% lower than expected during the design phase.

The owners consider it architecturally stunning and functionally everything they had hoped for,

including energy performance that far exceeded their expectations.
