The Lakeside Net Zero Passive House is a shining example of sustainable living, boasting LEED Platinum and Passive House certifications for its modern design and eco-friendly ethos. Tucked away in Southwest Michigan, this home seamlessly blends contemporary comforts with green building practices. At its core, a commitment to energy efficiency and indoor air quality shines through, with innovative solutions like the CERV2 ventilation system playing a key role in the project's success. This lakeside house is a featured project on both the Greenhome Institute and PHIUS websites.
The CERV2 ventilation system ensures optimal indoor air quality while keeping energy consumption in check, adding to the home's eco-friendly credentials and creating a healthy environment for occupants year-round. The CERV2 installation utilizes the GEO-Boost ground loop heat exchanger to boost efficiency and capacity by acting as a hybrid air and ground source heat pump. Additionally, the CERV manages the exhaust ventilation of the bathroom and kitchen, preventing the need for separate exhaust fans and envelope penetrations. Combined with the house's sustainable design and renewable energy sources, the CERV2 helps the Lakeside Net Zero Passive House lead the way in environmentally responsible living.
The Lakeside Net Zero Passive House incorporates sustainable practices beyond just energy efficiency—such as using reclaimed wood from nearby trees for flooring, reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact. As a beacon of sustainability, the Lakeside Net Zero Passive House inspires eco-conscious construction practices. With its certifications and innovative features, it proves that sustainable living isn't just better for the planet—it's also more comfortable and rewarding for those who call it home.
