New Home Builder: EnviroGreen

Property Detail

A Zero Energy Home (ZEH) combines state-of-the-art, energy-efficient construction and appliances with commercially available renewable energy systems, such as solar water heating and solar electricity. The combination results in a home that produces its own energy as much or more than it needs. Even though the home might be connected to a utility grid, it has net zero energy consumption from the utility provider.

Zero Energy Homes optimize and include the following design features:

• Climate-specific design
• Energy-efficient construction
• Energy-efficient appliances and lighting
• Blown-in insulation wall/ceiling system
• Vinyl windows with High Performance Low-E glass to keep warm air in during the winter, hot solar rays out during the summer
• Economical high-efficiency Heating and Air Conditioning, with fresh air ventilation system, and pressure balancing
• Air seal polycel caulking around windows, doors, joints and sill plates
• Energy-saving tankless water heating system
• Insulated and mastic sealed a/c ducts
• Third party testing for efficiency validation
