Halo house

Category: Residential Single

Halo house is carefully designed for passive thermal performance and operates entirely from a zero emissions, zero fossil fuel services system. It incorporates a five-kilowatt PV solar array and a hydronic heat pump system that supplies hot water as well as internal and pool heating. Internally, the central stair void and clerestory windows act as a thermal chimney for night-purge ventilation, pulling cool air through the core of the building.
