[Read more…]eTown has been underway for a minute now, but Providence Homes has just announced it will begin selling Zero Energy Ready Homes ™ in eTown’s Kettering neighborhood. According to Providence, their floor plans in Kettering will be “so energy efficient that all or most annual energy consumption can be offset with renewable energy”.
Qualifying as a Zero Energy Ready Home ™ requires a builder to meet the guidelines put forth by the Department of Energy, and have the homes independently verified and field-tested in accordance with HERS standards.
Currently, Providence will build 12 different floor plans on 40′ or 50′ home sites. Pricing starts in the low-$300,000s.
