Eco-Village One: Maine’s First Affordable Zero-Energy Housing Development

We propose to build Maine’s first zero-energy affordable housing subdivision. Homes are designed with energy saving systems and priced to sell within the guidelines of Maine State Housing.

Department of Energy defines a zero energy house as being 70% more efficient than a conventionally built home. We know that we can do better. Our proposed homes will feature:

• Super insulation
• Air exchange system
• Passive solar
• Energy star rated appliances
• Compact fluorescent lights

The above list will achieve more than 70% energy savings.

We will also offer options:

• Photovoltaic solar array for clean green electricity
• Solar thermal for domestic hot water
• Solar thermal fot hot air heating

Our demonstration project will show that it is possible to achieve near zero energy in an affordable home. Investors will share the credit for helping to achieve this in the State of Maine. With a bottom-up impact on the housing industry, our project will serve as a model for all houses, proving we can have an impact on creating energy independence at any price level.
