索罗尔德的住房设计推动了加拿大的绿色住宅发展，打造现代的活力住房，保障能源高效、舒适、健康的室内环境，自然光线充足，空气清新。

创造力

活力住房是一种丹麦的衡量标准，注重的是能源高效，减少对环境的影响，室内环境优越。这栋房子位于安大略南部的居民区，由加拿大最大的建筑商之一Great Gulf,建造。没有采用传统的设计和奢华的装饰，因为那样做对环境发展无益。

房子的采光很好，通风流畅。与众不同的是，这座索罗尔德住房有跨轴线的设计，屋顶的天窗和窗户能够移动，便于采光，白天的话不需要开灯。同样，天窗和窗户也利于通风。屋后面有很宽的露天平台，鼓励住户多享受日光浴，经常打开滑动门，出去透透气。

环境

房子采用了传统的三角墙设计，打造多功能住房。内部的采光非常好，环境优越。建造时，比例和集群状况都有明确的设计指导，确保和周边更传统的住宅区能和谐共融。

可持续性

房子住得舒适，节能高效，使用了HRVs加热系统和节能暖气炉。冬季，南边的玻璃建筑最大限度地保障太阳辐射能。夏季，遮阳百叶窗能保持室内的凉爽。建筑的外观比较隔音隔热，内部的百叶窗、灯光、天窗、窗户、加热/制冷系统可以自动调节。

屋顶上有贮水器和雨水收集系统，可用来浇灌花园和冲马桶，从而节约了城市用水。太阳能热水系统和排水系统的使用减少了环境污染，促进了可持续发展。

房子采用了木质结构，减少了浪费，缩短了工期。墙壁、地板和屋顶的板材都是工厂制作的，包裹好了以后，会送到工地。整个房子的架构用时很短，只花了几天的功夫。

建造过程

Great Gulf，是这里最大的建筑商之一，注重打造创新、有前瞻性的公司，占有较大的市场。建造的过程也是个学习的过程，力争达到节能环保，促进能源高效。2014年2月，还会建造新的房子。

作用

该项目是加拿大住房发展上的分水岭，每年会建造成千上万的新房，这种建造项目促进了可持续发展和现代建筑的设计。

From the architect. The Thorold Active House is designed to push the boundaries of green Canadian residential development, by meeting the current Active House standards: ensuring high energy efficiency, a comfortable and healthy indoor environment, and an uplifting space filled with an abundance of natural light and air.

Creativity

The Active House is a Danish metric that emphasizes energy efficiency, low environmental impact, and superior indoor environmental quality. Located in a residential development in Southern Ontario, the house – built by Great Gulf, one of Canada’s largest home builders – aims to shift the expectations of the single-family home away from traditional design and ‘luxury’ finishes, neither of which contributes to human or environmental health.

The qualitative aspects of the house are guided by natural daylight and ventilation and how they can fundamentally change the feeling of a house. Unusual for a builder home, the Thorold Active House has an open cross-axial plan with a series of operable roof skylights and windows that suffuse the house with sufficient daylight that little to no artificial lighting is needed during the day. The skylights and windows are equally designed to provide natural ventilation. A full width deck at the rear of the house reinforces a visually seamless transition from the indoors-out, and encourages the occupants to keep the sliding glass deck doors open.

Context

Using the existing local design guidelines of a traditional gabled roof design and adapting them for the House yielded a multi-functional design that was the basis for an open plan, an abundance of interior daylight, and a house of superior environmental performance. The proportions and massing of the House are derived from the design guidelines ensuring that House sits naturally beside its more traditional neighbors.

Sustainability

The thermal environment of the house was designed to optimize comfort and efficiency using zoned heating, HRVs and a high efficiency furnace. The design maximizes solar heat gain in the winter through south facing glazing. Overhangs and operable shades help keep the house cool in the summer. A heavily insulated building envelope and a home automation system integrates motorized shades, lighting controls, skylights and windows with the heating/cooling system to help ensure that the house operates as efficiently as possible.

A cistern and rain water collection system was installed to reduce the use of municipal water in the garden and to flush the toilets. A solar domestic hot water system and drain water heat recovery further contribute to reducing the house’s environmental impact.

From the outset the house was designed as a prefabricated panelized wood structure, to both reduce construction waste and the length of onsite construction. Wall, floor and roof panels were factory built, flat packed and brought by truck to the site. The entire framing of the house was erected in just a few days.

Good business

Great Gulf, as one of the country’s largest home builders, is simultaneously concerned with being an innovative, forward-thinking company, and a company that competes effectively within the residential market. This project was a leap of faith, in a market that has not to date shown any particular interest in sustainability. It was also very much a learning process, one that has galvanized around achieving design and process efficiency so that the company can move forward building the next version of the house, which is slated to begin design in February 2014.

Legacy

The Thorold Active House is a watershed in Canadian residential development, one that simultaneously pushes the boundaries of sustainable and modern design for the thousands of new homes built in this country every year.
