Zero Energy Ready Courtyard Homes

 

Leading the Way

You have a vision for the future and respect for things of lasting value. You value health and intelligence. Shouldn’t your home do the same?

These two remarkable homes are among the very few Net Zero Energy homes in the Delaware Valley. They offer a unique opportunity for two fortunate forward-looking home buyers to live in a contemporary open-plan home with forward-looking features built for today and for the future. They are the vision project of Design Build LLC, crafted with the benefit of forty years of experience in architecture and construction.

Zero Energy Ready

Zero Energy Ready, or “NZE” homes are ultra-comfortable, healthy, quiet, sustainable, and affordable to live in. They are homes that are so well sealed and energy efficient that they produce as much renewable energy from the sun as they consume over the course of a year. The owners will have a net zero energy bill, and the satisfaction of a carbon-neutral footprint.    Design Build LLC is a US Departement of Energy NZE Partner.
