After five points by InSiteful design, the Middlebury team has tried to build a House that is economically, ecologically and socially sustainable. Radiator with reclaimed Barnwood from Vermont, the steel frame structure is topped off with 48 14 cm thick wall panels and an 18-inch roof. Cellulose, strive for a low embodied energy, is used for the insulation to ensure minimal thermal losses. Even more impressive are the floors with Maple like and milled within 10 miles of the Bread Loaf campus made!

The House has a North Slope roof and glazing on the South side, the controls solar gain; The "solar path" system of PV cells are also on the South side and are mounted on high poles to double as a walkway for students on the campus once competition is completed. All mechanical systems are at the core of the chimney, which acknowledges also the heat in summer housed, and the House is designed with small bedrooms and spacious public areas to promote maximum social activities.

A smart House that respects Vermont folk architecture, InSite offers serious sophisticated heating and cooling technology, which require the smallest amount of energy. It is an design of impression of, and we are pleased to see her in Irvine!
