Get a first-hand look at this recently built Ashland home that has the potential to use 'zero energy'!

Join Energy Trust of Oregon for a guided CE home tour that combines simple beauty with outstanding energy performance.

This home achieved 'zero energy' status by earning a near-perfect EPS®. The home requires very little energy overall and has the potential to meet or exceed that demand by producing enough energy on-site via solar panels, making the energy consumption essentially zero. From thick double-stud walls and triple-pane windows to rooftop solar panels and a ductless mini-split heat pump, the benefits of comfort and savings in this home allows it to perform 99% better than a typical code home.

Every 1 in 7 new homes in Medford receive an EPS verifying their energy efficiency is at least 10% better than code, and this tour will help you understand how these EPS-rated homes can be a good fit for your clients. Find out how this home achieved the 'zero energy' standard and what EPS means for homebuyers: A more comfortable, durable home with healthier air quality and cost-saving energy efficiency that homebuyers can feel good about.
