A resilient home is a strong, long lasting, green, passive, off-grid, energy efficient and cost effective building.
It is designed to keep you and your family comfortable and safe especially in cases of extreme weather conditions or natural disasters. Building just a passive or a green home is not good enough.
Of course, a resilient home design will always include a passive house approach
while maximizing the use of green and eco-friendly materials. But it is much more than that.
Our homes are structurally sound, strong and engineered to greatly exceed the strictest US building code requirements. Listed below are the basic qualities of our resilient home model.
Contrary to common belief resilient homes are not that much more expensive to build than common construction.
A resilient home requires more to be spent on superior materials, high-quality windows, extra insulation, efficient heating and cooling system, attention to details and high-quality work.
When all those things are done correctly your energy requirements would be much lower, providing savings on solar panels, batteries and the benefit of having no utility bills.
Properly built resilient homes are armored against extreme weather and use 70% less energy than the average home of the same size. Efficient technology, innovation and creativity always go hand in hand with helping the environment.
