Energy monitoring systems & software provide real-time data to monitor solar production, manage consumption, and track the path to net-zero energy.


Zero-VOC interior paint protects indoor air quality.


2x6 framing with spray foam insulation creates an energy-efficient thermal envelope.


Outdoor space is integrated into every home, often in the form of a central courtyard that remains naturally cool in summer.


Water wise toilets, sinks, and shower heads help to reduce potable water use.


Standing seam metal roofing reflects radiant heat, is durable, recyclable, and allows for easy installation of solar array.


Gutters and downspouts are arranged for expandable rainwater collection.


Solar arrays are sized specifically for each home to generate as much power as the home consumes in a year.


KCMA-certified cabinets use sustainably harvested materials and earth-friendly adhesives and finishes to preserve indoor air quality.


Sealed concrete tile and wood flooring surfaces provide a durable, low-maintenance alternative to conventional carpeting and synthetic carpet backers.


A heat pump water heating system works in conjunction with geothermal HVAC, arguably the most efficient electric water heating available.


Geothermal heating and cooling uses half the energy of conventional systems and creates hot water in the process—for use elsewhere in the home.


Commercial-grade argon-filled, dual-glazed, thermally broken anodized aluminum windows with three layers of low-E film are energy efficient and durable.
