What Is A Zero Energy Ready Home?


A Zero Energy Ready Home is a home that’s built to be energy-efficient enough that, with the addition of renewable energy sources (like solar panels), it can produce as much energy as it consumes over the course of a year. This approach ensures a highly efficient, comfortable, and sustainable living space with minimal environmental impact.

Zero Energy Ready Home Certification

At Symbiosis Homes, we are committed to building homes that not only offer exceptional comfort and style but also prioritize energy efficiency and sustainability. Our Zero Energy Ready Homes (ZERH) certification, awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy, is the highest standard of home energy efficiency.

Why Choose a Zero Energy Ready Home?

Reduced Energy Bills

A ZERH is designed to minimize energy consumption, which leads to lower utility costs.

Comfort

These homes maintain consistent temperatures and air quality, improving overall comfort.

Sustainability

A ZERH reduces your carbon footprint by cutting down on energy use and allowing for the integration of renewable energy sources like solar power.

Increased Home Value

Homes with high energy efficiency are in high demand and can command a premium price on the market.

The Process of Certification

Achieving Zero Energy Ready Home certification involves several key steps, which we follow meticulously for each of our projects:

1. Energy Performance Requirements?
2. Energy Modeling?
3. High-Performance Insulation and Sealing?
4. Efficient HVAC and Water Heating Systems?
5. Smart Home Features?
6. Third-Party Verification?
7. Certification?

Building Better from the Start

A Zero Energy Ready Home is built so efficiently that it can offset most or all of its energy use when paired with renewable systems like solar. Each home we build is carefully engineered to deliver:

Exceptional energy efficiency and lower utility costs

Superior air sealing and insulation for year-round comfort

Low-VOC materials that promote healthier indoor air

Noise reduction through thoughtful design and material selection

Durability and long-term performance backed by building science

We design and source every component — from framing systems to finishes — to create homes that are both energy-smart and people-centered.

Consulting Services

We also offer consulting services for homeowners who wish to build their own homes but want expert guidance through the process. From site planning to energy-efficient design recommendations, we serve as your trusted advisor — ensuring your project meets high standards of quality and sustainability.

Please note: Symbiosis Homes does not offer remodeling services for existing homes. Our focus is exclusively on new construction and zero-energy-ready design consulting.
