Programmable Thermostat
The thermostat in the Ecohouse is programmable so that the house is heated or cooled only when the residents are home. This thermostat saves energy because it eliminates unnecessary use of the furnace and air conditioning.

Whole House Fan
During the renovations process, the house received baffles, roof vents and an attic fan to take care of the air flow issues. The fan removes very hot air from the attic which reduces the need for air conditioning.
