Our Design
A net zero energy home produces more electricity than it uses. Net zero energy is achieved by a tight thermal envelope, efficient heat and other mechanical systems, and generating solar energy with an onsite array or through a share in a community solar farm. Residents enjoy low or no utility bills all year long.
