Crescent Lake House
- Net Zero Ready
- Lake House
- New Construction
A comfortable, contemporary, energy efficient lakeside home.
A home designed for aging in place, and entertaining family and friends. Our client desired an easy-to-maintain, energy-efficient, and accessible home that would let in water views at every turn. The design is made up of two intersecting volumes with a tall single story to the west that holds the kitchen and great room, and two stories of bedrooms on the east, where they get sunrise light.
The home features 12-inch thick double-stud exterior walls with dense packed cellulose, triple-glazed windows and doors, four inches of rigid insulation beneath the concrete slab, deep roof overhangs to control light on the south side, a highly efficient gas boiler, radiant in-floor heating, and an energy recovery ventilator to circulate fresh air. The exterior finishes were chosen for their natural beauty, and low maintenance features.

Energy Use Intensity
21.54 What is EUI?
Energy use intensity (EUI) is an indicator of the energy efficiency of a building's design and/or operations. EUI can be thought of as the miles per gallon rating of the building industry.
It's calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year (measured in kBtu or GJ) by the total gross floor area of the building (measured in square feet or square meters).
