200 visitors attended the “Behind the Walls Open House” event held at the house Sunday, January 11.  There to answer questions were:
Dan Hardey, Hardey Construction
Cynthia Kraus & Claudia Wiehen, OPENHAUS Design
Bryan Amburgey, Solar Source
Mike Burch, D’Mand Hot Water Systems

It was great to see the turnout, despite the NFL playoffs and rain that morning.  The skies cleared just in time for our real-time solar demonstration.  Visitors toured the project and saw many of our energy and water saving technologies first hand.  We had great discussions about windows, insulation, solar energy, LED lighting, energy modeling, and more.  Our most asked about feature – in-wall toilets!
Our sincere thanks to everyone who came by, including our subject matter experts and partners.  We look forward to having several more events when the house is complete.  Future topics include low water fixtures, flooring, reclaimed materials, mechanical ventilation, and landscaping.  Stay tuned for more information.

Planning a remodel?  Curious about energy efficiency and lowering your utility bills?  Wondering what green technologies to include in your project?
If so, please join us for a unique course-of-construction open house.  Holland and Nick Brown are excited to provide this educational opportunity for the community to look inside the walls of their house project to see the systems that will achieve zero net energy in their 1957 ranch home.
Subject matter experts will be on hand to talk about:
  • Solar energy
  • Windows and insulation
  • Heating and air conditioning
  • Hot water delivery systems
  • Energy modeling and Title 24
  • Remodel design
The open house will be held at the job, 400 Los Altos Ave, in Alamitos Heights.  Note that the house is an active construction site.  Please wear appropriate shoes and enter at your own risk.  All are welcome.
