👉 Full project details on the NW Green Home Tour

We integrated Green Building, Net-Zero, and Passive House principles into the project, reusing salvaged lumber from the deconstructed original home. A south-facing roof supports a 12kW solar array, and all assemblies feature exterior rigid insulation for high R-values—R-47 walls, R-66 roof. Triple-pane, triple-gasketed tilt-and-turn windows ensure airtightness, complemented by efficient systems including a heat pump, Sanden water heater, and Zehnder HRV. Though not formally certified, the Greenwood Powerhouse exemplifies the “Pretty Good House” approach—high-performance, sustainable, and thoughtfully designed
