"The 2016 Vermont’s Greenest Residential Building was awarded to the Dinnan/Webster Residence designed and built by Fiddlehead Construction. This new single-family residence on the south slope of Mt. Philo in Charlotte reused a previously developed lot. The home was designed to be net-zero energy ready (this means it can meet all of its annual energy needs with renewable energy). This inspiring home won with a proven annual energy intensity of eight kBtu/sf/yr. This home consumes only 16% of the average consumption of a New England home (50 kBtu/sf/yr). Fiddlehead Construction used natural, durable materials for the home to increase longevity including salvaged sinks, boneyard slate and local maple counters. The home is an all electric home with a supplemental woodstove for heat and ambiance."
