This 5800+ ft² ICF foam block house, currently under construction is heated with solar assisted radiant floor heating

Cascade Sun Works finished the radiant heating system installing an outdoor reset and controls.

Solar hot water was used for both domestic hot water as well as radiant floor heating. Cascade Sun Works of Redmond was the solar contractor. The DayStar Thermal Solar System built in Bend was used for the solar heat and storage requirements. Three collectors were mounted on the southerly facing garage roof supplying up to 120,000 btu’s per day of energy for use in heating the dwelling as well as hot water for domestic use. The DayStar DayFlow Control and Distribution Unit supplies the intelligence for the solar hot water control. This unit is a fully integrated system incorporating heat exchange between the solar collectors and the potable water system, pumping, control and service functions all conveniently mounted in a small package by the hot water storage tanks. 150 gallons of hot water storage is supplied for the system.

Cascade Sun Works also installed several 10 to 18 inch Natural Light tubular skylights in hard to light areas of this house.
