 HOME HISTORY AND FEATURES
  While planning the addition, the owners went to great lengths to design and implement a comprehensive energy efficient heating and cooling plan for the entire home. The walls and roof in the new space have Super High R rated insulation and there are thermopane windows throughout, with the exception of the living and dining rooms. They also opted for green solutions where possible including plywood, drywall and low-E paint.
HVAC SYSTEM DESIGN
 A 2006 high efficiency gas boiler serves the radiators in the original (front) house. Separate
thermostats regulate 3 zones: basement, 1st floor, and 2nd/3rd floor. The 4th “zone” serves the water heater.
 A second 2006 high efficiency gas boiler provides radiant heat (heated floors) to 4 zones in the new (back) portion of the house: basement exercise room, family room/kitchen, master suite, and master bath. Each zone has a separate thermostat.
The 2006 central air conditioning system consists of 2 zones with separate thermostats: basement/1st floor, 2nd/3rd floors.
 The existing, pre-addition furnace/AC air handler located in the basement now also functions as an alternate, backup forced air heat source for the basement and 1st floor.
 The 2nd/3rd floor zone is cooled by a SpacePak system
 The main whole house 2006 water heater is fed by a separate tankless water heater, ensuring a virtually endless supply of hot water throughout the house.
