This is a new 6,000 square foot home with soaring walls of glass facing a fantastic view of the Atlantic Ocean.

The challenge on this project was integrating a comfortable heating and cooling system in a very unique home while minimizing the visual impact of the HVAC systems. We also had to contend with large expanses of glass, contributing to high heat loss in the winter and high heat gain in the summer. A unique 360 degree fireplace added to the challenge as a make up air system was required to insure the homeowners enjoyed roaring fires in winter. Heating and cooling are by a hydro-air system.
