The Cleveland Museum of Natural History will have a smart home built on its property, allowing $5 tours from July to September. SmartHome Cleveland will be ultra efficient in energy use due to high-performance windows, a heat recovery ventilator, and an airtight building envelope according to the Jetson Green web site,
But it will also be more than just energy-efficient. Plans call for – in general terms – sustainable materials, advanced storm water techniques, healthy housing elements, and biophilic design, according to Cleveland Museum.
The traditional-style, 2,500 square-foot home will have three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a full basement, according to a press release.
I would absolutely love to live in a home this energy efficient. Whoever ends up purchasing it after the exhibit will certainly not miss high heating and air conditioning bills!
