Village Park Eco Home

    • You can do a lot with $1,700 a year -- that is how much the owners of this certified U.S. DOE Zero Energy Ready Home by Sterling Brook Homes are expected to save each year.
    • Even without solar energy panels, this high-efficiency custom home achieved a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 44, far below the HERS 100 score of typical new homes.
    • High-efficiency windows with double or triple panes, insulated frames, and special reflective coatings allow plenty of daylight inside while keeping out unwanted heat and damaging ultraviolet rays.
    • The high-efficiency Sterling Brook custom home uses an energy management/home automation system operated by mobile devices to control heating and cooling, lighting, and audio/video equipment.
    • High-efficiency appliances include an ENERGY STAR refrigerator and dishwasher.
    • Water-saving fixtures and recycled glass countertops are among the resource-efficient features in this home.
    • High-efficiency lighting helps reduce energy costs.
    • High-efficiency ceiling fans help reduce cooling costs.
    • A professional lighting designer was used for lighting that enhanced the home's looks without increasing energy usage, thanks to 100% LED advanced solid-state lighting technology.
    • An on-demand hot water pump speeds hot water to the low-flow fixtures for warm water without the wait or waste.

      Home owner (or occupant) Testimony
      We came from a house that was 1,900 square feet. Wayne built us a house that is 7,000 square feet and the electricity bill is the same. It’s crazy, the difference. And we have not altered our standard of comfort. We have not made a conscious effort to conserve on energy. The house does it for us by the mere fact that it was built using the most energy-efficient products and methods in the industry.
