In 2009 we had a passive solor slab home built near Divide Colorado, the solor slab was a waste of money. Inovative Structures, Matt Freidell built the home and fan he put in is noisy and annoying.
We built in a high radon area and he did not advise us of this. The slab is poured on concrete blocks, which were poorly sealed from radon. The space below the slab acts as negitive air space and sucks the radon to levels of more than 40.
I had to seal all ventilation from the slab, and draw the air from the slab to the outside to get the radon levels under 4.
For us it was a waste of money, this is possibly due to an incompetant contractor, Inovative Structures. |
