The PNC ultra-high-tech SmartHome, which was constructed last spring on site at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, moved yesterday to its permanent site on Wade Park Avenue and is for sale. The house was put on a large flatbed – and was driven to its new location.
The Smart home is all-electric, but is designed to use 90% less heating and cooling energy than a typical home. While on site at CMNH, over 10,000 people toured the house.
The home was designed by Chuck Miller of Doty & Miller Architects in Cleveland. Certified Passive House Consultant Mark Hoberecht of HarvestBuild Associates will oversee SmartHome Cleveland’s adherence to the standards of the Passive House Institute US.
The home’s construction on its temporary site at the museum coincided with the exhibit on global climate change on display at the museum . It also was timed with Cleveland’s 10-year campaign to remake the region’s economy through sustainable business practices which named 2011 – the year of energy efficiency.
The super-energy efficient, two-story house is for sale and is listed with Howard Hanna for $329,000.
