Key Components of a Carbon Neutral Home
1. Exceptional Structural Integrity
Our ZERO WOOD construction utilizes hurricane-impact resistant steel framing engineered explicitly to exceed stringent hurricane safety standards. This innovative approach delivers superior durability and strength, providing unmatched protection against extreme weather events.
Our properties are designed to withstand hurricane-force winds, significantly reducing risk and safeguarding the owners most valuable assets and loved ones. We build built not only to meet, but to exceed, today’s rigorous hurricane code requirements.
2. Advanced Wall System for a Healthier Home Environment
Our innovative interior and exterior wall systems are built using magnesium oxide (MgO) wallboard, a cutting-edge material renowned for its exceptional strength and health benefits. MgO wallboard significantly enhances structural rigidity and durability, while simultaneously improving indoor air quality. Its hypoallergenic and non-toxic properties actively minimize allergens, pollutants, mold, and mildew, creating a pristine, healthy living space ideal for families and individuals sensitive to indoor pollutants.
3. Superior Energy Efficiency
Our homes boast steel-framed walls that deliver outstanding insulation performance, achieving remarkable R-values typically ranging from R-25 to R-32, depending on finishes. Each home is thoughtfully designed and expertly constructed by LEED-certified professionals, adhering strictly to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards—the internationally recognized benchmark for sustainable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective building practices.
High-Efficiency Air Conditioning
Experience exceptional indoor comfort with our state-of-the-art, energy-efficient air conditioning systems rated at 32 SEER. These advanced units feature multi-zone capabilities and dual-stage air filtration, dramatically enhancing indoor air quality. Combined with our steel frame panel construction, which substantially reduces thermal transfer and air infiltration by up to 90%, these systems decrease typical AC system demands by approximately 33%, resulting in approximately 1.2 million pounds fewer CO2 emissions over the lifetime of your home.
Eco-Friendly Reflective TPO Roofing
Our eco-friendly single-ply TPO roofing systems deliver superior energy efficiency through exceptional solar reflectivity (rated 97 out of 100) and high emissivity. By reflecting heat away from your home, TPO roofing substantially reduces cooling costs and energy consumption. Chlorine-free, recyclable, and known for its exceptional lifespan, TPO represents one of the most sustainable and economically smart roofing solutions available today.
Solar-Powered Energy Independence
Achieve true energy independence with integrated solar panel systems installed in most of our homes. Our typical solar installations produce between 3-4 kW, comfortably meeting your household’s daily energy needs. With an average daily generation of 5-6 kW at 90% power inversion efficiency, complemented by reliable backup systems, you’ll maintain energy autonomy even during power outages or hurricanes.
Financial Incentives and Rebates
Maximize your investment through substantial financial incentives and rebates. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners installing qualified heat pumps and mini-split systems are eligible for federal tax credits of $2,000 or 30% of installation costs—whichever is lower. Additionally, further income-dependent rebates of up to $8,000 are anticipated soon, pending guidance from the Department of Energy, providing significant savings and financial advantages for homeowners.
