Cold Climate Montana House Designs Complimented with Comfort Cove Radiant Heaters

For National Affordable Housing Network(NAHN), housing energy performance is top priority. NAHN says that, "for low-income and disadvantaged Americans, energy can represent more than 15 percent of their household budget. Many disadvantaged families must choose between food and heat, or between medicines and providing cooling vital to health."

For NAHN, houses were designed and built to use the least possible energy, water and natural resources, while having excellent health, safety and comfort characteristics. Their ‘cold-climate’ house plans contain all-electric heating systems consisting of electric radiant Cove Heaters. “We wanted high comfort and safety levels combined with the lowest possible annual operating cost and construction cost," says the NAHN website.

According to NAHN, these plans were acclaimed by Ned Nisson who wrote in The Superinsulated Home Book, “Their house plans are considered the best available.” Their detailed house plans are also designed with Habitat for Humanity affiliate partner families and homeowners in mind. 

Below is just one of the many detailed house plans designed for Southwest Montana's cold climate conditions utilizing Comfort Cove radiant heaters.
