Built in 2008 by Spokane area Educators, this home has a Five Star rating by the Inland Northwest Built Green® program. Key to its energy efficiency is the home's tightly insulated envelope, super insulation, and solar energy. A geo-thermal system provides forced air heating and cooling. On top of this energy component, they installed a heat recovery ventilator and indoor air filtration system to provide a healthy indoor environment. All materials used were low to no volatile organic compounds VOC and formaldehyde. As a bonus to the home's existing water saving features, they use a grey water system for toilet flushing.
