Story

Greenhill Contracting Inc. is building the first functional zero energy single family development in the USA that I have found. So far the community, since 2009, has produced more energy then it has consumed. Greenhill Contracting Inc. has one home that is almost complete and another half complete that are listed from 579,000 to 596,000. There are 18 more homes planned to be built in this subdivision out of a total of 25 with price ranges as low as 450,000. We have another two subdivisions in the surrounding town and neighboring town that will have homes available in the high 300,000s. The homes are built using ICFs (insulated Concrete Forms) from the foundation to the roof. They use geothermal HVAC systems and Solar PV to generate their power. The homes have all the creature comforts of any traditional home and those living in them have no sacrifices other then the enjoyment of paying utility bills. Greenhill Contracting Inc. has been able to demonstrate that homes can be built to consume zero net energy for a lower yearly cost to the home owner then a conventional home.

Greenhill Contracting Inc. is planning on offering soon deep energy retrofits of existing homes that hope to reduce energy needs by up to 80%.
