The Norsman Residence is another example of a higher-budget single family home with a carefully considered green and design sense. The project is new construction on a substandard Chicago lot (23.5’ x 100’). It includes many of the features we are increasingly seeing for these semi-demonstration projects, such as a ground-source heat pump HVAC system, rooftop wind turbines (not shown in the image), highly insulated walls and windows, rainwater harvesting for irrigation, and a green roof.
This project is designed and owned by the same individual, Brent Norsman, who joins those architects willing to put their money where their mouth is by building their own green project. Construction is underway with occupancy expected in September 2006. Other project team members include structural engineer C.E. Anderson & Associates and HVAC contract HVAC & Geotech Systems.
