Suncatcher at 516 Village Way

Floor Plan | LEED Platinum!

Mountainside Village is proud to be a leader in high-performance home construction. The Suncatcher house is a perfect demonstration of why. Expected to be the first LEED Platinum home in Eastern Idaho and oriented along an east-west axis, the Suncatcher’s long south-facing window wall allows the house to absorb heat from the sun, reducing the need for propane or electric heating. South glass and thermal mass are carefully balanced to ensure that the interior spaces are neither too hot nor too cold. The home’s special high solar-gain windows bring in natural light and heat, while minimizing heat loss. In addition, the Suncatcher features an attractive, indoor masonry wall that faces the southern windows, allowing the house to hold on to its solar heat throughout the night. Because of these features and others, the Suncatcher is an excellent example of a passive solar home, designed to save its residents money, reduce their impacts on the environment and most significantly, provide a healthy, cheerful sun filled home.
