Noel ResidenceSarasota, FL

Dr. Noel M. & Jane A. Noel

High Performance CharacteristicsSite• Building massing and orientation promote natural daylighting and cross ventilation • Building was sited to preserved existing stand of old growth long leaf pine trees • Utilized indigenous vegetation (zero water use) and preserved native habitat• On site water retention with naturally vegetated swales, permeable paving for all driveways and

walkways • Minimized heat island effect with nominal exterior hardscape, and exterior materials that reflect

solar radiation

Indoor Environmental Quality• Low VOC emitting ceramic tile through-out the house• Wall and ceiling assemblies were designed to mitigate sound transmission between rooms• Connection to outdoors is emphasized by large floor to ceiling windows• Flexible interior layout allows for future adaptability of space• Natural daylighting throughout building

Energy and Atmosphere• Passive Shading provided by deep overhangs• Passive Cooling strategy utilizing operable clerestory windows and natural cross-ventilation• Building orientation, room depth, and large clerestory windows promote daylight harvesting • ENERGY STAR appliances installed• Sealed combustion water heater• Construction waste minimized to below 25% (vs. conventional 30%-40%)• High Thermal efficiency exterior building envelope:

– Exterior walls are ARXX Insulated Concrete Foam Blocks by (R=24, high HERS rating)– Windows are Fibertec Fiberglass Dual Glazed, Low- E 2, Argon Filled, (SHGC = 0.27)– Roof system is Tech-Shield radiant barrier plywood sheathing, 1" EPS Foam cover,

Single-ply white reflective roof membrane, R=30+, low heat absorption of .9
