Affordable Housing for Renters and Homeowners

A Near Zero Energy Home (NZEH) dramatically reduces the amount of energy required to operate the home. Through high-performance construction and efficient building systems, NZEH homes typically use 30% less energy than standard building code homes. Our homes combine energy efficiency with durable materials to create housing that's both affordable today and sustainable long-term.

Key Features:

• Designed Around Community Income — Homes are planned around local median incomes so monthly housing costs are attainable for the people who live and work in the community

• Fast, Efficient Construction — Completed in approximately 30 working days using optimized, repeatable building methods

• Built to Exceed Code for Long-Term Durability — Structural systems (foundation, framing, fastening, and bracing) go beyond minimum code requirements to create a high-performance structure designed for 100+ years

• High-Performance Exterior Systems — Roofing, siding, and windows are selected for long service life (~30 years) and enhanced resilience (including up to 130 mph wind ratings)

• Significantly More Energy Efficient — Designed to be ~30% more efficient than code, reducing energy use and utility costs

• Improved Comfort and Indoor Air Quality — Consistent temperatures, better humidity control, and healthier indoor environments

• Lower Total Cost of Ownership — Durability, efficiency, and reduced maintenance combine to lower lifetime housing costs—not just upfront cost

• Reduced Environmental Impact — Efficient operation and longer-lasting materials decrease resource use over time
