The Stonebrook Group in Western Massachusetts is about to embark on a project that is the first of it’s kind in the area! We have been contracted to finish an open ended dome. The dome is an earth sheltered home in Huntington Mass. When it comes to green building, one of the finest examples would be an earth sheltered home. This style of residential design uses passive annual heat storage(PAHS) as it’s primary heat source. In the summer months PAHS homes heat the earth around them. In the winter the heat collected in the earth penetrates back into the home subsequently acting as an insulator as well. Depending on the location and design, this style of home will reduce your heating bills by as much as 80%.
