ENERGY EFFICIENCY The ARK is built to criteria that result in energy efficient performance, meeting or exceeding Energy Star, Build Green, and other popular programs. Designs can incorporate any energy efficient features such as passive solar exposure (orientation of the glazing to the seasonal rays of the sun). The houses are framed using foam core stress skin panels (SIPs). SIP buildings are vastly more energy efficient, stronger, quieter, and more draft free than other building systems, such as stud framing with fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass is sometimes used for furnace filters because air moves through so freely. Rigid insulation is used as solid component insulation in almost every industry for its inherent efficiency and lack of air movement. These attributes are built right into a SIP building. Less air leakage means fewer drafts, less noise, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable indoor environment. The design features an in-floor radiant heating system. Radiant heating has a number of advantages: it is more efficient than baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air heating because no energy is lost through ducts. The lack of moving air can also be advantageous to people with severe allergies. Hydronic (liquid-based) systems use little electricity, a benefit for homes off the power grid or in areas with high electricity prices. The hydronic systems will also be supplemented by a water heater that is fueled by the sun’s rays. All window and door glazing is low-e glass thermo pane. All lighting fixtures are outfitted with compact fluorescent bulbs.
