Net Zero in North Carolina

Completed
Written By Mariana Pickering

Located within a Net Zero–focused community in the foothills of North Carolina, this custom home served as the inspiration for B.PUBLIC’s Array standard plan. The clients’ choice to build in a neighborhood dedicated to sustainability shaped the project’s goals for energy independence, comfort, and low carbon impact. Combining Passive House–level envelope performance, balanced ventilation, and all-electric systems, the home showcases how panelized construction can deliver high performance and modern design in any climate.
