Welcome to Winter Sun Online!
Here you can learn about Green
Building techniques, including construction
details like
insulation and
ventilation, material choices from lumber to countertops, and renewable
energy including solar hot water. Energy
Star Certification
is proof
that a home will save at least 15% on power bills compared to the
average new house! Certified Healthy
Built Homes are third-party verified to green building
standards.
Green
Design is the foundation of
a carefully-planned and
well-prepared green home. A green design considers the site to
reduce excavation and foundation work to decrease construction costs.
Passive solar design orients the house relative to the sun to take
advantage of free seasonal heating and cooling. Carefully planned
spaces reduce overall square footage to save money while still
providing ample areas for entertaining friends and family, plentiful
storage and sanctuary for relaxation.
A Solar
Hot Water Heater has the
best return on investment of
any
renewable energy system. Current state
and tax credits save 65% on the
cost of a system! The fully automated system integrates with an
existing water heater to take advantage of free energy from the sun. A
SunGrabber Solar Water Heater
comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s
warranty and is proudly made in the USA.
Mountain
Laurel Handrails
are a
great addition to a rustic mountain
residence. The mountain laurel is saved from being burned from lots
that have been cleared for building. Our expert craftsmen will install
your handrail in the local area. Pre-built handrail sections are
custom built to your measurements and available for delivery
nationwide.
