For Heating and Cooling the Lever Homes we chose to go with Ductless (Mini-Split) Heat pumps. They have many advantages over traditional forced air systems that make them a perfect fit for this project. First and foremost, they are up to 3 times more efficient than the most efficient furnaces on the market, and do not lose any of their energy through "duct-losses". They also come with head units that are individually controlled with thermostats and remote controls that allow for zoning. That way each level can be adjusted accordingly. Below is a picture in the Master Bedroom of the front unit. We recessed all of the units into wall niches to make them appear more built into the project.
