Nearing completion is a bright, airy 2 bedroom, 2 bath single level home in the Vista Lakes area of PLPOA. This house, from start to finish, has been built to exacting energy conserving standards. The walls and roof are built using SIPs Panels (Structural Insulating Panels), which offer a superior insulating package, create an open interior, and have very low air infiltration. Heating is via a Cold Climate Heat Pump with 3 zones. Hot water is by a Hybrid Water Heater, which utilizes a built in heat pump most of the time, but when needed also operates as a conventional electric water heater. This home, upon completion, will be certified as an ENERGY STAR HOUSE, as well as the much more stringent ZERO ENERGY READY HOUSE (ZERH). A ZERO ENERGY HOUSE (ZEH) is a house that, on a yearly basis, generates as much electricity as is uses. A ZERO ENERGY READY HOUSE is the same, except the PV panels are yet to be installed. By not installing the panels yet allows the buyer to spend some time in the house to determine exactly how much energy they are using, then install the panels and take advantage of the generous Federal Tax Credit. There may also be Colorado State Tax Credits available. It is a long list of standards that must be met to qualify as a ZERH or ZEH. What this all means is this house will be very easy to heat or cool, with low energy consumption. When solar panels are installed the house should have a Zero yearly electric bill. The house has an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings throughout, with the exception of the baths and closets. The interior is surprisingly bright and light filled. Contributing to this are the two Velux skylights (with remote blinds) in the kitchen/dinning area. The master bedroom has walk in closet, and the master bath has a walk in travertine shower. The garage is an oversized one car garage (16'w x 22') that leaves ample storage space when vehicle is parked inside. The house is prewired for cable and data.
