HardieTrim Board15-year transferable, limited warranty.

Made of fiber cement building materials. Comes in many sizes.

Benefits of HardieTrim® boards:• Same benefits as Hardie Shingle siding• Provides unmatched durability • Allow you to create a variety of design possibilities for trim,

gables, corners, fascia, windows, doors, column wraps, rakes, friezes, decorative trim and other non-structural architectural elements..

PROJECT GOALS: BUILT TO LAST

Rogue River Stone Veneer: Chardonnay LedgestoneIt is made up of cement, natural aggregates, and iron oxide pigments.

50 year guarantee against cracking and fading

• Cultured Stone project costs (materials and labor) can be about half of natural stone (natural = $50 - $100 sq ft) vs. (cultured = $25 - $50 sq ft).

• Natural stone has been around since as far back as we can trace, and while it is very nice looking it is also much more expensive and also a lot heavier. It is also much harder to work with than when using cultured stone.

Faswall Block Foundation Walls12” wide block foundation walls with up to R-26.6 insulation.

Energy efficient Living Space below grade

Faswall blocks are another efficient, eco-friendly product. They are created from 85% sawdust, and 15% cement. Wood waste is recycled into a sustainable building material. The wood is ground, mineralized, and then bound with concrete.

It is:• soundproof• resistant to pests, fire, and mold. • absorbs and releases water vapor, thereby

preventing moisture build-up, it is great for humid environments.

• Cost is comparable to a formed/poured wall system.

PROJECT GOALS: CONSERVE ENERGY

Current Oregon Energy CodeRequirements.

Energy Efficient Home

The ‘Solar Heat Loss calculator’ numbers confirm that this home performs at 38.4 KBTU per SF per year, which is 48.8% more efficient than a code built home.

The Earth Advantage points for this home more than qualify it for Silver Certification (90 points)

PROJECT GOALS: CONSERVE ENERGY

PASSIVE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS

Passive heating stores radiation from the sun in a thermal mass.Passive cooling relies on prevailing winds captured through casement windows, operable skylights, and transoms. Ceiling fansDistribute the cool are throughout the home.

Decks on the North side of the home are a cool place to spend summerEvenings.

Stand-alone photovoltaic system

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), a cash incentive that can reduce the price of a solar water heater by over $1,000 depending on the model and location.

The FSEC analysis illustrates that the initial installed cost of the solar water heater ($1,500 to $3,000) is higher than that of a gas water heater $350 to $450) or an electric water heater ($150 to 350). The incentives and energy savings make the panels worth the cost.

Expect to pay anywhere from $6 -$15 a square foot to professionally install

a hydronic (hot water) radiant floor heating system; that's $13,176 -$32,940

for a 2,196 square foot home

HYDRONIC RADIANT FLOORS: 200% EFFICIENT HEAT

Hydronic (liquid) systems are the most popular and cost-effective radiant heating systems for heating-dominated climates. Hydronic radiant floor systems pump heated water from a water heater through tubing laid in a pattern underneath the floor. In some systems, the temperature in each room is controlled by regulating the flow of hot water through each tubing loop. This is done by a system of zoning valves or pumps and thermostats. The cost of installing a hydronic radiant floor varies by location and also depends on the size of the home, the type of installation, the floor covering, remoteness of the site, and the cost of labor.

OVERVIEW and OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

BUILD SMALL: Main house = 1531 sq. ft. ; ADU = 665 sq. ft..

CONSERVE ENERGY: • ENERGY STAR appliances, electronics and equipment, including front-loading

clothes washer • Programmable thermostat, • Insulate walls with as high R-value as possible and seal air leaks • Solar hot water system• Photovoltaic panels for electricity• Earth Advantage certification.• 80% CFL or LED lighting

USE THE SUN: Windows with SHGC=.57 and R=.32 throughout let in maximum daylight and passive solar gain when combined with a concrete thermal mass floor

REDUCE WASTE: Install Water Sense plumbing fixtures, dual-flush toilets, 1.5 GPM shower heads and 1.5 GPM faucet aerators.

BUY LOCAL: Local products boost Oregon economy and save energy by reducing the cost to ship the item. All products will be produced in Oregon as much as possible.

MAKE IT LAST: Buying products for durability and longevity and correctly installing materials prevents problems and increased maintenance down the road.

OVERVIEW and OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

cont: Materials:• Cement board siding and trim • high quality metal roofing with cool roof rating council certified rating, • High efficiency U-.32 dual pane windows, • Rain screens between wall cladding and sheathing • pan flashing at windows and doors• decking wood without chromium or arsenic and stainless steel or GMAX connectors. • OSB strand board subflooring and wall sheathing • FSC-certified wood for structural framing with the advanced framing techniques to reduce

material waste. • Insulated concrete forms (ICF”s) for the foundation walls where applicable. • Exterior-grade plywood with no formaldehyde for exterior decks where applicable.

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE: Recycle 75% or more of job site waste and choose materials that can be reused and recycled later. Use re-used form board from other projects where applicable.

AVOID TOXICS: Interior materials and air quality:

• Reclaimed fir flooring and trim• Ceramic tile with min. 50% recycled content and installed with low-toxic adhesives• Formaldehyde-free medium density fiberboard (MDF) and cement board• Install a hardwired carbon monoxide detector outside of sleeping areas• Use low or no VOC primers, paints, varnishes, adhesives, caulks and sealants.• Use recycled content gypsum wallboard.• Use water-based urethane finishes on wood floors• Use wool area carpets with waffle type carpet pad• Install quiet bathroom fans rated 70 CFM or higher and 1.0 SONE or less. Connect to a timer

controlled switch or humidistar.• Install recycled denim insulation, and foil backed polyisocyanurate insulation• Seal air leaks around tubs and showers; inside cabinets; attic and crawlspace panels; at recessed lights

and around all electrical and plumbing penetrations in addition to any other openings between conditioned and unconditioned spaces.

• Seal all joints, seams penetrations, rough openings, and other sources of air leakage at the building envelope to maintain envelope tightness. Pressure test envelope air tightness to seven air changes per hour (ACH) at 50 PA pressure or lower.

GATHER RAIN: • Use rain barrels and cisterns to collect water for re-use and keep water from hard surfaces from

overwhelming the existing stream at the north end of the property.• Use pavers to allow storm water percolation• Install an irrigation system with a soil moisture or rain sensor connected to rain barrels or cistern.• Connect some of the downspouts to bio swales and rain gardens

WALK AND BIKE: The four plex will provide a covered bike storage and repair area for the entire palatine community site encouraging tenants to bike instead of using cars.

CREATE BEAUTY: The goal of this project is not only to create an energy efficient sustainable design but also to create livable thoughtful space planning, beautiful surroundings and artful building expression. The buildings will connect with each other in cohesive design with building materials, pathways, gardens, plants, and trees. The existing property will be nhanced and the beautiful areas of the property will be protected.
