What is a Net-Zero Home?

A net-zero energy home produces as much energy as it consumes annually. This perfect balance is achieved through energy-efficient design, airtight construction, and on-site renewable energy systems.

With ICF construction, high-performance insulation, and thermally sealed building envelopes, our homes cut energy bills by as much as 80%—even before solar panels are installed.

  • Dramatically lower utility bills
  • Superior indoor comfort year-round
  • Reduced environmental footprint
  • Increased property value
