here is a video tour of the completed roof. we installed a new “cool roof” and solar plumbing system that will supply 90% of the hot water needs for the home. we also reinstalled a 4 kilowatt (4000 watt) photovoltaic system that will supply 60%+ of the homes electrical needs.
our westbourne project is almost complete. the owners will be moving back in in about a week and a half. we have a couple things to finish inside but i’m excited to show you where we are at with the project. over the course of the next week or so, i’ll be posting short videos showing off each room or rooms so please check back often.
this video explains the new roof and how it will be housing photovoltaic panels for the electrical system and also panels for the solar hot water system.
welcome to the approachable architect blog, a discussion of topics related to architecture, residential design, construction, and green building. i’ll also share updates on our own projects as well. please feel free to ask a question or leave a comment. – david
