To interested friends and neighbors;
There will be a tour of the Mayhews’ Solar Home on Saturday, October 15th, from 10- 3
located at: 60 Campbell St., Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538
Please come visit this 2,950 sf solar home with attached greenhouse, solar hot water, solar hot air and solar electric systems. It is a demonstration of green building practices that includes a synergistic blend of an attached greenhouse with 1,00 gallon (thermal mass) pool, a radiant floor heating system on the lower level, a mini split dx heat pump on the 2nd floor, and the solar air heating system on the 3rd floor, inside of a superinsulated building envelope. The grounds have raised organic, produce and flower gardens, beer hops, apple, cherry and peach trees and is situated on an elevated location, with a south-facing harbor view.
This home is a very close to net-zero energy, and is often net-zero electric. This 35-year work-in-progress is incrementally approaching net zero energy.
This tour is part of the American Solar Energy Association’s Solar Home Tour.
