EcoFutures Turn-Key Zero Energy Homes

Turn-key green homes are becoming more widely available across the United States, and Solar Village has announced a new set of energy-efficient home designs that put smart, eco-friendly design within reach of the masses. Turn-key Solar Village Homes feature passive solar design, foil faced rigid foam and Icynene insulation, fiberglass windows with low-E glass, healthy indoor air, a solar hot water system, a 2.5 kW solar pv system with online monitoring, and super efficient HVAC system.

From Jetson Green:

Turn-Key Solar Village Homes are built exclusively by All American Homes, a company with plants in Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, Iowa, and Colorado.  These plants build “systems built,” modular homes, and matter of fact, the Altos Homes pictured at the very beginning was built by All American Homes in Decatur, Indiana.

The two designs shown here are the Solar Village Altos – 3/2.5, 2047 square feet, and the Solar Village Zero2 – 2/1, 1106 square feet. Three more designs can be seen at Jetson Green.

Prices aren’t readily available, but they’re likely far more affordable than most green homes. And, having very low to zero energy bills every month is definitely a plus. The nine reasons why Solar Village Homes believes that systems-built homes are a great option include near zero-waste construction, low maintenance, smart passive solar design, ultra-efficient heating and cooling, low cost and the fact that they’re customizable.
