Plan ZR-33028-1-3: One-story 3 Bed French House Plan With Split Bedrooms And Deck

This is a plan of a 3-bedroom house with a proper layout, built to specifications, which save from 40% to 50% on electricity bills.

The equipment for air conditioning / heating is designed in heated rooms using ventilation ducts, specially designed below the attic. The result - three-meter ceilings and huge energy savings.
An additional feature of energy saving is the use of trusses with a raised heel, providing more efficient attic insulation and wider overhangs and verandas for shading the largest windows.
In addition, Californian corners and frame 50x150 allow using better insulation of external walls and optimizing the roof area - especially in the back of the house - in case of adding high-power solar panels and / or solar hot water systems.
In combination with a solar water heater and an appropriate climate, this home plan can lead to empty electricity bills (significant savings that can be achieved even without a solar component; the standard of a passive house).
