VIDEO: The Treehouse Project
When architect David Krebs met with owner Merilee Marshall in 2007 about building her dream home in South Russell, Ohio, he was pleased to hear that she wanted the building to be as sustainable and off-grid as possible. They started by using wood culled from the 3-acre property to be used in the floors of the home.
But as you can see in this interview, the Project really got interesting when they combined solar and geothermal systems to keep the floors and home comfy all year long, and even earn credits for putting electricity back onto the grid. Watch the video as David Krebs explains the new technology and how it can work for homes in our occasionally sun-challenged region. http://www.aodkinc.com, http://www.TheTreehouseProject.com.
