With a 45 HERS rating, this is the most energy
efficient
Earth Cents Home in Northwest Florida.*
To achieve the highest level of comfort with absolute
minimum infiltration, bottom plates sealed with 3” foam
strips, foamed window casings, framing studs turned to
maximize insulation, bottom plates perimeter caulked,
window seals caulked, Icynene foam insulation for walls
and roof deck, and Low E windows. Home scored a
HERS rating of 45 making it the
lowest scoring Earth Cents home in Northwest Florida!
The home comfort system is WaterFurnace three ton
geothermal. Two stage compressor, twelve speed variable
blower, touchscreen programmable thermostats, remote
sensors, four zones, and fiberglass free duct system.
With a two stage compressor, the geothermal system has
an EER of 20.1-30.0. While there isn’t an “equivalent
SEER” rating per se, for comparison purposes, a 19 SEER
air conditioner has an EER of 13.55. Roughly twice
efficient of the flagship conventional systems.
For water heating, a WaterFurnace geothermal heat pump
for high volume water heating with a 17.5 EER/3.1 COP
rating using a Hyperloop in lieu of the normal vertical
loop.
Other than electric range/oven, all appliances and even
a few ceiling fans are Energy Star rated. CFL &
LED lights used in 95% of the fixtures.
Power consumption is estimated at $91 per month (based
on 25KWH per day at $0.12 KW).
1741sq ft downstairs with 350sq ft bonus
suite with conditioned storage area above the living
room making the total living space at 2091sq ft.
This beautiful home is the epitome of being able to
build a customized home with all the upgrades, high end
home audio/visual system, and super-efficient home
comfort system.
