A Different Kind of Warmth
Welcome to Adirondack Alternate Energy
We design, engineer and market a unique concept incorporating
proper solar orientation, a superior 6-sided insulation envelope and a large air integrated thermal mass system.
Dynamic designs
Our unique homes can be built in whatever size, shape and style you desire (contemporary, saltbox, traditional, etc.)
High Insulation
Efficiency
Insulated and sealed on all six sides with 4" of polyisocyanurate (foam board), yielding a performance level of R38, several times higher than typical new homes.
Advanced Air Circulation System
An integral air handling system powered by a fan gathers air at the peak of the house and pulls it down an airshaft to be delivered through a grid work of pipes, buried in a heavy mass storage system under the lowest floor, and back to the house interior perimeter.
Air Quality
Healthy high winter humidity levels of 45% to 50% are maintained at all times. High performance filtration 3 times per hour of all indoor air eliminates most dusting. Steady temperatures changing only 4-6 F in 24 hours because of mass tempering.
Winter-Ready Design
Self-regulating system allows owners to leave for any winter months by simply turning the key, the house will never freeze. Excellent for a second home or ski lodge. Retired people enjoy the constant warmth, maintenance free operation and minimal fuel bills.
Proven
AAE has built over 400 Low Energy Requirement homes across 50 years in 15 states.
