The Passive on Timber House
Newly built in 03, the Passive on Timber House is an example of high performance construction techniques taken to the extreme. This two story hybrid timber frame incorporates a stout eastern white pine frame enclosed by a stick built “Klingenberg wall” composed of an insulated 2x6 studwall, rigid air barrier, and a 12” vertical TJI insulation layer. Top of the line triple pane windows paired with this impressive structural build out, results in a house that exceeds passive house standards; while maintaining a traditional aesthetic appropriate to Belfast ME.
