How To Keep Warm and Stay GreenTalk by Matthew O'Malia of G O Logic
Matthew O'Malia, architect and partner of the award-winning Belfast firm G O Logic, will discuss the concepts and details of the highly-insulated passive house building.
About the G O Home pictured above: "With a super-tight envelope that earned it a rare Passive House designation-the 12th in the U.S.-this compact SIPs home is expected to save up to $170,000 in energy costs over 30 years, almost what it cost to build. ...the GO Home's ultra-insulated shell and passive solar design lowered space heating demands by 86% compared to code-compliant construction, allowing for a drastically simplified mechanical system...
Architect Matthew O'Malia and builder Alan Gibson created the project as a prototype to demonstrate that near-zero-energy homes are possible at costs comparable to standard construction." From ecobuildingpulse.com
G O Logic designed the Belfast Area Co-housing Community and TerraHaus, a dormitory at Unity College. Their many awards include the Citation for Excellence in Architecture from AIA New England. G O Logic provides a comprehensive problem-solving approach to the design and construction of quality, sustainable, zero-energy buildings.
