Energy Use:

All appliances and electrical fixtures will meet ENERGY STAR requirements including LED lighting and an electric vehicle (EV) charging station located in the garage.  Shutoff switches to control items in the house when not in use will be manageable through smartphone technology.

This home will be using a 5kW grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system to offset the electrical load. Additionally, an electric vehicle (EV) charging station will be located in the garage.

Marvin Integrity windows were chosen for durability and performance to meet ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 requirements.  

A storm water management plan for the site has been designed to direct all water runoff into a retention storage system
