Today, DOE announced the grand winners of the 2023 Housing Innovation Awards during a ceremony at the Energy & Environmental Building Alliance (EEBA) High Performance Home Building Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Zero Energy Ready Home program staff will be in attendance at the EEBA High Performance Home Builder Summit, October 10-12th in Salt Lake City, UT!
One of the most valuable aspects of the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home program is the wide variety of housing types that can achieve ZERH certification. In this edition, we will look at how ZERH is changing the narrative when it comes to affordable housing.
ZERH builders have proven that delivering high-performance, healthy, and affordable homes is good for business. These homes don’t need to cost a fortune and they don’t need to be custom designed.
One of the biggest obstacles that high-performance home builders need to overcome is the consumer perception that a high-performance home is a niche product.
2022 saw a lot of positives for the Zero Energy Ready Home Program, but it was also a challenging year for many of our builders and the housing industry at large. Staffing and operational issues are still lingering from the early COVID days.
