BASEMENT WALLS New homes at R=15 Our NZE home R=21 140% better
DUCT INSULATION AT ATTIC New Homes R=8. Our NZE home R=75, within building envelope, 900% better

AIR INFILTRATION: New homes 3 ACH (air changes per hour in volume). Our NZE home: 1.5 ACH 100% better
HEALTHFUL FILTERED FRESH AIR
Since an NZE home is so well sealed, it brings filtered fresh air in and exhaust stale air out. It recaptures the energy in the exhaust air using an Energy Recovery Heat Exchangers (ERV). The ERV also filters the fresh air down to one micron in size, the size of bacteria.
SMART HOME
Living in a Net Zero House is even simpler than a conventional house. Smart-home lighting, HVAC, media, and access controls make life more convenient and efficient.
ELEVATOR
Accessibility for friends and family, or aging in place. It’s such an enhancement to have access to all levels of the house and a wheel chair accessible level transition from the garage into the house.
Conscience
A home with a conscience
These two wonderful homes are the only two NET ZERO ENERGY single family detached homes for sale within 50 miles of Philadelphia.
The benefits and savings will only get better, as energy costs continue to rise to increase 50% each of the next two decades. While our national and local building codes are inching their way towards NZE standards, the time frame for seeing NZE in the marketplace is fifteen to twenty years.
A buyer can own a forward thinking forever-home today. It is ready for:
an aging energy grid which is being overloaded by new uses such as electric cars, growth, and A.I. A.I. uses so much energy that Microsoft just purchased the Three Mile Island nuclear plant to power their private A.I. use.
Energy Cost inflation
the cost of energy grid improvements rolled energy bills
weather related outages
uncertain public policies
