How Just Housing homes are built

From the capillary break on the footing to the depth of the roof overhang (and everything in between), the details are what make Just Housing homes special and what make the houses work. We use an integrated approach to optimize the balance between the parts to build the house and the systems to run the house.

  • Super-insulated walls, floors and ceilings and airtight construction details create an enclosure that conserves energy and stays comfortable in the coldest (or the hottest) weather.

  • Based on energy modeling, we tailored slightly different versions of our standardized assemblies and specifications for both Climate Zone 6 and Climate Zone 7.

  • Low building energy loads allow for smaller equipment and smaller ductwork. 

  • All-electric operation and low loads allow all energy needs to be met with clean energy.

  • Chases and soffits facilitate straightforward distribution of conditioned air to the living spaces.

  • Typical equipment in a Just Housing home:

    • Domestic hot water is delivered via a heat pump water heater.

    • A high-efficiency ventilation system brings in filtered fresh air and expels stale air.

    • A high-efficiency cold climate air source heat pump provides reliable heating and cooling.

    • A whole house energy monitor displays how much energy the house is using and how much is being produced by the solar array.
