Hello, after asking for advice here on GBA,
I decided to at least try to design my floorplan for my future house in zone 4a in Bethesda, MD.

I would appreciate a feedback on the floorplan I am uploading. For example, I have allocated some space for HVAC ducts/returns  in the plan but not sure how appropriate that is.

I am aiming towards PGH type of concept with  centralized HVAC +ERV (likely hybrid configuration with separate exhaust ducts only), PV ready, 2780 SQFT finished in 1st+2nd floor.

There will be likely an unfinished basement and vented attic (that’s the standard in the area) or – less likely –  slab-on-grade with conditioned attic.

Thank you for any feedback you can provide!

      thank you for confirming. I guess this is a temporary issue related to the new website?
