Holly Creek Lane

    • Every one of the 11 homes in this affordable row house development built by Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services achieves the U.S. DOE Zero Energy Ready Home certification.
    • Durable fiber cement siding covers 2-by-6 wall panels that were produced offsite using high-efficiency advanced framing techniques including 2-stud corners, insulated headers, and ladder blocking at interior wall intersections. This reduces the amount of lumber used, leaving more room for insulation.
    • A shallow frost-protected foundation insulation system saves money while protecting the slab from freezing temperatures.
    • The ultra-efficient windows consist of triple-pane glass with argon gas fill and low-emissivity coatings to reduce heat transfer.
    • High-efficiency ENERGY STAR-labeled dishwashers and refrigerators and EPA WaterSense-labeled plumbing fixtures save energy and water.
    • A high-efficiency boiler provides domestic hot water and radiant floor heating.
    • The high-efficiency wall insulation uses R-20 of dense-packed cellulose.
    • The ultra-efficient attic insulation uses 14 inches (R-52) of blown cellulose, which completely covers the attic floor.
    • The high-efficiency foundation insulation uses R-15 rigid foam on the outside of the above-grade foundation walls.

      I love my new home at Holly Creek. … My last gas and electric bill was only $18, which is wonderful! I haven’t had to turn on my heat at all!
