为了满足绿色建筑的可再生能源需求，住宅开发公司引进了当地的专家Puget声太阳能公司，在屋顶上配置和安装6.6kW的光伏电池板。住宅开发公司的所有者安东尼·马施梅特(Anthony Maschmedt)说：“建造零能源住宅的关键是对房屋进行适当的隔离和密封，这样就不会因为建筑外壳的裂缝而失去热量和空气。”翡翠之星的特点是先进的框架，绝缘，和高性能的欧洲木框门窗创造了一个密封不透风泄漏和城市的声音。

In order to meet Built Green’s renewable energy requirement, Dwell Development brought in local experts, Puget Sound Solar, to configure and install 6.6kW of photovoltaic panels on the roof. “The key to zero energy home building is to properly insulate and seal the home so heat and air are not lost through cracks in the building envelope,” says Anthony Maschmedt, owner of Dwell Development. The Emerald Star features advanced framing, insulation, and high-performance Euroclime wood-framed windows and doors creating an airtight seal impervious to leaks and city sounds.

在室内，Zehnder热回收通风(HRV)系统24小时工作，以消除陈腐的空气和充满新鲜，清洁的空气，同时也保持一个舒适的温度全年。为了展示德威尔发展公司致力于推动可持续建筑的发展，该团队从澳大利亚安装了一个450%的高效热水热泵，以提供热水和地板内辐射热，“该系统对工业来说是革命性的。桑登使用1千瓦的能源来产生4.5千瓦的热量，这比传统的热水系统少78%。这不仅对环境更好，而且对房主的底线也更好。“安东尼·马施梅特说。

Inside, the Zehnder Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system works around the clock to expunge stale air and fill the home with fresh, clean air, while also maintaining a comfortable temperature year-round. Showcasing Dwell Development’s commitment to pushing the envelope of sustainable building, the team installed a 450% efficient hot water heat pump from Australia to provide hot water and in-floor radiant heat, “this system is revolutionary for the industry. The Sanden uses 1kW of energy to generate 4.5kW of heat, that’s 78% less energy compared to traditional hot water systems. Not only is it better for the environment, its better for the homeowner’s bottom line.” says Anthony Maschmedt.

回收的材料被仔细地寻找出来，以遵守翡翠之星认证要求。家庭的框架包装是FSC认证的木材，这是一个罕见的壮举，在住宅建筑，因为找到一个当地供应商可能是挑战和昂贵。房子的外墙是从俄勒冈州威拉米特山谷的罐头厂回收的道格拉斯杉木和自然风化的钢制屋顶面板，这也是一个保护雨幕。地板、楼梯和踏板都是用蒙大拿州100年前手工缝制的混合硬木建造的，形成了一个令人惊叹的组合。台面，橱柜和瓷砖由高回收的内容在当地制造，有助于家庭的令人印象深刻的生态友好型材料库存。

Reclaimed materials were carefully sought out to adhere to the Emerald Star certification requirements. The home’s framing package is FSC certified wood, which is a rare feat in residential building because finding a local supplier can be challenging and expensive. The home’s exterior siding is reclaimed Douglas Fir and naturally weathered steel roofing panels from a cannery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, which also act as a protective rain screen. The floors, stairs, and treads were built out of 100-year-old hand sewn mixed hardwoods from Montana creating a stunning combination. Countertops, cabinets and tile made locally from high-recycled content contribute to the home’s impressive inventory of eco-friendly materials.

建立一个节能的住宅，这种口径需要一个聪明和战略性的建筑布局。Dill Development与当地公司Caron Architect合作，在西雅图生机勃勃的Ballard社区设计了这座三层楼的住宅。住宅开发团队仔细配置屋顶和窗户的位置，以最大限度地利用太阳能，而不牺牲现代美学。城市的位置满足了另一个建造的绿色要求；住宅必须在至少五项基本服务的半英里之内。这是一项旨在将汽车用于日常事务的要求；但在长途旅行的情况下，内置电动汽车充电管道是为了支持一种更可持续的生活方式。

Building an energy efficient home of this caliber requires a smart and strategic architectural layout. Dwell Development partnered with local firm, Caron Architects, to design the three-story home in Seattle’s vibrant Ballard neighborhood. The Dwell Development team carefully configured the roof and window placement to maximize solar gain without sacrificing modern aesthetics. The urban location fulfills another Built Green requirement; the home must be within a half mile of at least five essential services. This is a requirement meant to minimize the use of cars for everyday errands; but in the case of longer trips, the built-in EV charging conduit is there to support a more sustainable lifestyle.
