Qathet’s Most Efficient House

MOST EFFICIENT

The home of Neil and Haruyo Abramson, above with builder Wes Brown, is by far the most efficient building in the community, setting a high bar for future construction. High-tech construction methods and equipment, and walls as thick as 19 inches, make it unusual, but the West Coast feel remains with local wood on the ceilings, floors and trim, and WB Contracting’s signature touches.
"PASSIVE” CERTIFICATION

Passive House is a construction concept that prioritizes energy efficiency. Passive House buildings allow for heating and cooling related energy savings of up to 90% compared with existing typical buildings and 75% compared with average new builds. They use energy sources inside the building such as the body heat from the residents or solar heat entering the building. A building shell consisting of good insulated exterior walls, roof and floor slab keep the heat during winter in the house – and keep it out during summer.
BY THE NUMBERS

Wall thickness: 2x4” interior walls + 10” panels + 2” Steico board + siding and trim = 18” walls.
Largest prefab panel: 25’ tall x 8’ wide
Air flow: For passive certification, a pressure test must read under 0.6 air changes per hour at 50 Pascal pressure. This house tested out at 0.51 ACH.
