We attempted to make our second home even more energy
efficient than our first one. We again used a passive solar approach but
since we had a flat lot we did not earth berm. The ICF's give much of the
benefit of earth berming. The
house is well insulated by a combination of ICF's (Insulating Concrete Forms) and SIP's
(Structural Insulated Panels).
