  • The High Performance Home Manual
    THE HIGH PERFORMANCE HOME MANUAL THE HIGH PERFORMANCE HOME MANUAL This document, along with the detailed drawings, is presented to offer our clients a roadmap in developing an "High Performance" home. This is not necessarily a "Green" home and does not take into consideration air-quality. It focuses on resource efficiency, energy efficiency, water conservation, and "providing for the future"; all of which are a part of a “green” home design, but not exhaustive. In some instances, we have provided “preferred” options as well as less costly means of attaining a near "High Performance" home. IMPORTANT: It is important to note that this information (these parameters) and the related detailed drawings are specifically for homes that are to be built in Southwest Texas (primarily the "hill country" type climate). The Climate Zone is three (3). Site Design Features: • Heat Mitigation: a. Shade hardscape (drives, walks, etc.) with shade trees or such. b. Utilize turf pavers for drive and/or walks, patios, etc. Resource Efficiency: • Drip edge (eaves and gables): a. Minimizes wicking and water distribution off roof material, decking, and fascia. • Roof Water Discharge: a. Provide gutters and downspout system with splash blocks (or such) to carry water a minimum of five feet from foundation (or utilize water harvesting system – see below). • Finish Grade: a. Provide a minimum fall of six inches for each ten feet from edge of building. • Flashing (galvanized metal): a. Flash roof valleys. b. Flash deck/balcony to building intersections. c. Flash at roof-to-wall intersections and roof-to-chimney intersections. d. Provide a drip cap above windows and doors that are not flashed or protected by coverings like pent roofs or are recessed in the exterior wall at least 24 inches.
