HAND CRAFTED TIMBER FRAMES

Green Mountain Timber Frames are Environmentally Sensitive
and Energy Efficient
Timber frame home structures use at least ten percent less
wood than stick-built (i.e., conventionally-framed) houses.
In building your Green Mountain home, we concentrate on
using both environmentally-sound and energy-efficient
construction materials and practices.
Only those building materials and components that promise
more effective use of natural resources are employed in the
construction of your Green Mountain home. Among these are
...
•
Reclaimed timber, or timbers harvested from a certified-
sustainable forest
•
Low VOC (volatile organic compounds) building
materials
•
Non-toxic glues, adhesives, sealants, and stains
In addition, we incorporate building techniques designed to
overcome the challenge of rising energy costs. We consider the
path of the sun when situating your home on your property in
order to incorporate passive solar principles for greater winter
heating efficiency and to derive the greatest benefit of available
shade for summer cooling.
We have participated in the development and construction of a
“zero-energy” home (ZEH). A ZEH is connected to the electric
power grid. However, it generates more power than it uses
during off-peak hours by uniting renewable energy technology
with energy-efficient construction. Over a year, a ZEH returns
almost as much energy to the grid as it consumes, thus
achieving “net zero” energy consumption.
The renewable energy technologies
incorporated in ZEH construction may
include:
•
Ground source heat and air conditioning systems
•
Tankless hot water heaters
