ZETA has designed and is initiating construction of a 22-home net zero energy community. Contracted by Visionary Home Builders, ZETA was given the opportunity to elevate the affordable homes to net zero energy working in concert with DOE Building America partner, ConSol. Based on current energy modeling, the project has achieved a HERS score of -2 and -3 for different site orientations.

Tierra del Sol's new 1,268 square foot homes include 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The charming architecture provides an open floor plan home, natural light, modern finishes, and private yards for the family to enjoy.
