vermont’s greenest building award + net zero award | residential: norwich, VT house

This inspiring home designed by Pill-Maharam Architects was designed and detailed so that the building envelope’s complex geometry could be constructed with simple conventional methods while still maximizing thermal efficiency and passive solar gain. The Net Zero Award winning residence is fossil fuel free – the roof mounted 9kW PV system enables this house to operate as a net energy producer. EUI: 12.41 kBtu/sf/yr
