The Future of Housing - Today
Every Zero Energy Ready Home™ offers a cost-effective, high performance package of energy savings, comfort, health, and durability unparalleled in today’s marketplace. Only a select group of the top builders in the country meet the extraordinary levels of excellence and quality specified by U.S. Department of Energy guidelines.
Healthful Environment
Every DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ has a comprehensive package of measures to minimize dangerous pollutants, provide continuous fresh air, and effectively filter the air you breathe.
Comfort Plus
Superior insulation, windows, air sealing and space conditioning systems included in every DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ surround you with even temperatures, low-humidity, and quiet in every room on every floor.
Advanced Technology
Every DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ begins with solid building science specified by ENERGY STAR for Homes, and then adds advanced technologies and practices from DOE’s worldclass research program, Building America.
Ultra Efficient
Compared to a typical home, an ultra efficient Zero Energy Ready Home™ is inexpensive to own. In fact, every DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ is so energy efficient, a small solar electric system can easily offset most, or all, of your annual energy consumption. We call this Zero Net-Energy Ready.
Quality Built
Advanced construction practices and technologies are specified for every DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™. Then they are enforced by independent verifiers with detailed checklists and prescribed diagnostics.
Durability
The advanced levels of energy savings, comfort, health, durability, quality and future performance in every DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ provide value that will stand the test of time, and will meet and exceed forthcoming code requirements.
