    • High Performance Homes built this 6,869-square-foot home in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to the performance criteria of the U.S. Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program.
    • The 6.25-kW solar electric system uses roof-integrated photovoltaic shingles for a low profile and contributes to reducing utility bills by nearly $4,000 compared to a minimum code home.
    • The structural insulated panel (SIP) thermal blanket wall system is clad with stucco and stone.
    • The SIP thermal blanket walls (R-24) help block out noise as well as heat and cold while providing draft-free, quiet, and comfortable interiors.
    • Advanced solid-state lighting technology is installed throughout the home -- 90% of the fixtures are LED.
    • The home's expansive interior is heated and cooled by an ultra-efficient ground-source heat pump.
    • High-efficiency windows feature the ENERGY STAR label, double-pane glass with an argon gas fill, and advanced low-emissivity coatings that reduce heat loss in winter and solar heat gain in summer while providing natural daylight.
    • The home was equipped with a high-efficiency ENERGY STAR refrigerator and dishwasher for energy and water savings.
    • ENERGY STAR-rated ceiling fans provide cooling air movement, reducing the need for air conditioning.
    • Circulating pumps on the hot water lines are controlled by timers, demand switches, and occupancy sensors to speed hot water to faucets just when it's needed to reduce water and energy usage.

      Testimonials

      Home owner (or occupant) Testimony
      We were attracted to the home by the fact that it had a complete high-performance package – high energy efficiency, high water efficiency, air filtration for indoor air quality. We had thought about energy efficiency quite a bit over the years … but we didn’t know of any builders who were building energy-efficient homes. Then we ran across High Performance Homes’ displays at the Links. The SIP panels make the home very structurally sound and make a very energy-efficient building envelope for the house. All I’ve had to pay for is the distribution charges.
