Home Strategies :
- Use multi-pane glass with U-factor <0.35 and Low-E
- Tune glass to solar orientation:use low SHGC glass on east and west
- Skylights not recommended
- Use natural ventilation,use convection to bring in cool night air in the summer
- Use cross ventilation
- Use ceiling fans or heat Recovery Ventilator and air destratification
- Frecquently used rooms should be located on south side
- Infrequently used rooms should be located on the nort side
- Make use of open floor plan
- Use natural sunlight for health and energy savings
- Bring in light high with clearstory windows
- Balance light
- Bounce light up ith light shelves and blinds
- Design circulation areas of rooms next to southern glass
- Use oodles for insulation
- Make use of thermal break
- Air-seal the building
- Use a light-colored roof
- Make use of solar hot water
- Make use of solar electricity(PV)
- Build high quality not high quantity
- Use high-efficiency appliances and lighting
- Use local and green materials
