Walk through a construction progress Net-Zero mash up with SIP (short for Structural Insulated Panel) and combined with Fortified and Indoor Air Plus, and the living space is elevated to the second floor. Sounds resilient, doesn’t it?

Net-Zero means high performance building envelope and efficient appliances zeroed out by solar panels. Fortified is a rating system to ensure the home survives hurricanes. DOE Indoor Air Plus along with Energy Star ensures more attributes are included to promote higher indoor air quality.
