Other notable attributes of the house include its bank of southward-facing glass windows , its outdoor open-air carport that sits under an outside wooden overhang , and its starkly-modern metal roofing and siding . According to Sean , the home is insulated and constructed in a way that provides optimum energy efficiency . “ The entirety of the building is externally insulated . There are fourteen inches of cellulose insulation in the roof and five and a half inches of cellulose insulation in the walls . The boards have insulation all the way to the outside . We also use an innovative air-sealing process called ‘ AeroBarrier ’ to further seal the house . We aerosolize a sealant into the air during the build process , and it fills all of the cracks with a pressurized fan . This whole house is sealed incredibly tightly . It doesn ’ t leak any heat in the winter . There is a standardized system for measuring air leaks in a house that uses a measurement unit known as ‘ ACH50 ,’ or ‘ Air Changes per Hour at 50 pascals .’ A typical home might leak at a rate of around 15 ACH . This home was measured at 0.4 ACH , which is incredibly low . It just goes to show how energy efficient and well-insulated it is . The home also features energy recovery ventilation that runs full time , acting as a mechanically-regulated leak
