AMHERST — A remarkable residence in Amherst is setting a new standard for energy efficiency with its cutting-edge green technologies. The home features solar panels on its roof, harnessing the power of the sun to provide sustainable energy. Inside, air-source heat pumps are utilized for both heating and cooling, significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining comfort throughout the year.
One of the standout features of the home is the installation of Solatubes, which effectively channel natural light into interior spaces, enhancing the ambiance of areas like the kitchen island.
