| Scenes from Heartwood Cohousing (near Durango, Colorado) |
Utah Valley Commons will be somewhat similar, in concept and
design, to what you see above.
Key characteristics include:
-- houses arranged to maximize solar gain
-- all houses equipped with PV (solar) cell arrays,
making units nearly grid-independent.
-- all houses heated by a common geothermal system.
-- hot water supplied by solar system.
-- houses connected via pedestrian walkways.
-- parking on the peripheries, but close enough to
houses to minimize inconvenience of loading/unloading.
-- living space in close proximity to permaculture
gardens
