Шаблон:Multiple issues BrightBuilt Barn is a Net Zero, LEED Platinum home in Rockport, Maine, assembled in 2008 to demonstrate certain principles of sustainable building design and construction. It was named the Most Innovative Home Project of the Year by the U.S. Green Building Council,[1] and was featured in The New York Times,[2] and in a short documentary film.[3] It is the subject of a 10-year retrospective review in the upcoming Northeast Sustainable Energy Association annual meeting in March 2018.[4]

The goals of the project were to demonstrate the principles of sustainable building for future structures and to bring together a critical mass of green designers and builders to help create an "ecosystem" of green building in Maine, modelled on the ecosystem of technology start-ups in Silicon Valley.

Features

The Barn was superinsulated and solar-powered. An array of photovoltaic solar panels on the south-facing roof creates electricity for lighting, the pump for the solar hot water system, and the backup heat pump. The solar panels create enough excess energy to power both the Barn and other homes on the property. The Barn used LED lighting. The Barn feeds electricity into the local grid on sunny days and draws electricity from the grid at night.[5][6]
