ENERGY VISION HOMES

Zero Energy Home Construction
A Zero Energy Home uses as much energy for cooling, heating, hot water, and other electrical loads on an annual basis as is produced from on-site photovoltaic panels or other renewable energy sources.
Zero energy is achieved through energy reduction and energy production.

Benefits

Custom Built

Our Zero Energy Homes are tailored to our customers lifestyle, requirements and satisfaction.

Sustainable

Zero Energy Homes consumes 1/3 the energy needed for cooling, heating, hot water, and other electrical loads compared to a traditionally built home.

Environment Friendly

Zero Energy Homes decrease carbon emissions and environmental impact by using less energy and sustainably-sourced materials.

"Energy Vision Homes promotes stewardship of our natural resources and environmental quality by educating the public on high-performance buildings that incorporate advanced building components and innovative methods and materials.”

- JOHN SLATER, Owner

The Better Way to Live

Zero Energy Homes can provide you and your family with
more than just a roof over your heads.

Air Quality

Clean air constantly circulates throughout the Zero Energy Home. Fresh air from the outdoors is introduced and filtered of pollen, dirt and pollutants.

Quality of Life

Fresh air and quiet living produces a higher quality of life than living in a code built home.

Sound Deadening

Thick, insulated walls and windows significantly decreases outdoor noise. Loud vehicles or high winds are hardly heard from inside.

Return on Investment

Although it costs slightly more to build a Zero Energy Home compared to a code-built home, it cost less than a conventional home to own. A Zero Energy Home has lower energy costs than the traditional code-built home. The lower energy bills compensates for the small increase in your monthly mortgage payment.
