Building your zero net energy home
SEEDS Workshop slated for July 15
about the latest developments in home building methods for maximum energy efficiency,” said SEEDS Executive Director Jocelyn Cramer. “This forum will be highly useful to those in the building trades, and anyone interested in renovations to their present home or considering new construction.” SEEDS, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable energy and living in Northeast Pa. For a full list of its forums and other programs, visit www.seedsgroup.net, or contact their office on 570-245-1256, or upstairs at the Cooperage, 1030 Main Street, Honesdale.
S
EEDS (Sustainable Energy Education & Development Support) of Northeastern PA will hold a workshop on High Performance, Passive and Zero Net Energy Homes on Tuesday July 15 at 7 p.m. at the Park Street Complex, located near Wayne Memorial Hospital, off Rt 6, at 648 Park Street, Honesdale, PA. Everyone wants to save money and energy, especially if you’re thinking of building a new house or for any major renovation. This public presentation will address how to design, model and construct high performance, superinsulated homes, even to the point of having the building be zero Net Energy, i.e. where all the annual energy it uses is less than the energy generated. Rob Lewis and Jack Barnett will lead the discussion, which will include super-insulated wall designs for air tight envelopes, passive gains for lighting, heating and cooling, household systems and appliances for energy conservation and modeling the whole building’s energy usage to properly size
Workshop Talking Points Passive solar windows can make an enormous difference in winter heating bills, especially if they are aligned to capture optimal winter sun exposure. an energy generation system, such as solar photovoltaic. Rob Lewis lives in Shavertown, PA and is a principal with Bakker & Lewis Architects. Jack Barnett is a SEEDS board member, interim board president of the newly formed Clean Energy Cooperative Inc. for Wayne and Pike
counties, and owner of a “nearly” zero Net Energy solar home near Hawley, PA. Rob has been personally and professionally interested in high performance buildings since 1980. He and his partner, Margaret Bakker, designed Jack’s house, which was completed in 2008. “We want to keep people informed

Grow your backyard paradise in a pot C
By Melinda Myers
reate a backyard escape with the help of container gardens. Whether you’re looking for a visit to the desert, an English garden or tropical paradise, a few planters can help create the mood. Reduce your workload and increase your enjoyment with a bit of planning and proper planting. Select a container with drainage holes and one that mimics the color and feel of the location you are trying to recreate. Use troughs, stone or other containers made from neutral colors when growing succulents. The container should complement, but not overpower the simple beauty of the desert plants. Keep things warm and natural when going for a more tropical feel. Wicker, bamboo and other natural materials work well with the lush foliage and vibrant colors of tropical plants. Add a few terra cotta, metal and basket type containers when creating an Eng-

lish cottage setting. Set them on your patio, steps or in the garden to create a focal point. Keep your plants looking good throughout the season with the proper planting mix. Look for potting mixes with good drainage and water holding abilities, like Schultz Potting Soil Plus (schultz.com). Check the label as some mixes contain enough fertilizer to last the entire season and water-retaining crystals to reduce the need to water. Use a cactus mix that provides the perfect growing conditions for cacti and succulents. The potting mix should retain the moisture and nutrients the plants need, while providing the excellent drainage that is a must for these plants. Plant any orchids added to your backyard tropical paradise in a potting mix designed for these plants. Use an orchid mix that has excellent drainage and aeration, yet retains the moisture and

And don’t forget about garden accents. A wattle fence and arbor of twigs and branches work well for an English garden setting, while a water feature can enhance a tropical paradise themed garden, and some southwest garden art can complete the desert scene you’re going for. So start your vacation this year with a trip to the garden center. Invest in a few containers, the right potting mix and plants. Then plant your way to the retreat of your dreams.

moved to Wurtsboro when he was young. After graduating from Monticello High School in 1973 Horton pursued an Associate’s Degree in Architecture from Orange County Community College (where he met his wife Susan), graduating in 1976. He then earned his Bachelor’s in Architecture from SUNY Buffalo in 1978 and worked for multiple firms during the six years it took to get his own architecture license in 1983. The following year Horton opened his practice and began building both homes and commercial buildings in Sullivan, Orange and Ulster counties as well as in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “He went wherever he was needed,” said daughter Jaclyn Horton, who serves as the practice’s office manager. One place Horton was needed was in central Sullivan County, where he designed the home pictured on page 8H.

Continued from page13H summer evenings and winter days. The living room can partially double as a dining room with easy access to the cozy kitchen with a breakfast nook. Upstairs features a bathroom, office and master suite with skylights as well as access to a walk out second story porch. Among the mature trees on the cleared lot is a detached garage with room for one car and a driveway with room to park up to two cars. The drive to the lakefront parcel across Mohican Lake is short and offers homeowners full lake rights to enjoy a hot summer day down by the water. This house is truly a spectacular yearround getaway for anyone looking for their perfect country retreat. Clockwise from above: The Master Suite is naturally lit during the day by skylights and offers a walk-out porch. The easy kithcen offers both a breakfast nook and straight walk to the partial dining area of the common room. The contemporary cedar home is nestled on a cleared lot surrounded by mature trees, just a short drive from Mohican Lake. The general living room offers comfortable living space where owners cna spend winter days by the fire or summer nights watching thunderstorms through the large glass windows. The view from the second story of the living area’s cathedral ceiling illustrates the beauty of this contemporary home.
