The Home Builders Association of Connecticut named this new home as the best energy efficient and green home of 2006. The house walls and roof were built using structural insulated panels (SIP) technology. The house faces due south and benefits from passive solar heat gain during the cold months. The 3.6kw photovoltaic panels generate power for the home and to sell back to the electric utility. Photo courtesy of Lindsay S. Suter AIA (project architect).
