Rosenberg-Fischer Home
​
This 21st century home in the mountain forest was designed to maximize use of the sun, using both straw bales and high-tech insulating material for the walls and floors which give off heat in the night.
​
The home is powered with a 9.92 kW solar electric system which runs a ground-source heat pump providing radiant floor heat, and an air-source heat pump water heater. The garage is wired with 240-volt outlets for the family’s electric vehicles, and the yard features native Colorado vegetation.
