Design

Zero Energy Homes partnered with BrightBuilt Home on the design of its first demonstration home, a 2 bedroom, 1 bath.

BrightBuilt specializes in modular, sustainable home design and shares our interest in seeing high-quality, high-performance homes brought to a wider market at more accessible prices.  

Zero Energy Homes are designed for year-round comfort and consistent temperatures. They feature 10” walls, a well-insulated roof, heat pump/s, energy recovery ventilation system, and triple-glazed, easy-to-clean windows.  Our flexible designs can be built with a modern or traditional style.

Floor plans for the 2-bedroom demonstration home and a future 3 bedroom/2 bath home are here.

During a power failure, a well-managed net zero energy home will stay comfortably warm for several days even in far northern climates.

Because you asked: There are many ways a buyer can customize one of our homes. One question we hear is whether a second heat source can be added. The answer is yes, you can add a small generator or woodstove to one or our homes.
