EG Home has always put quality construction and customer satisfaction above all else. We don’t just build homes that look good. We build homes with expert craftsmanship and energy-efficient features. In fact, EG Home is in the top one percent of builders in the country meeting the extraordinary levels of excellence in energy and performance specified by the Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready certification.
We believe that investing in Zero Energy Ready construction not only enhances the quality of life for our homeowners but also fosters a greener and more sustainable future for all. Let’s discuss what that means for our home buyers.
Understanding Zero Energy Ready Homes
A Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) meets the highest federal standards for high-performance housing. These homes are built as an integrated system, ensuring superior efficiency, comfort, and durability. Key components include advanced insulation, high-performance windows, efficient HVAC systems, and solar-ready designs.
These features work together to create a home that is healthier, more comfortable, and significantly more energy-efficient than standard homes.
Why Home Buyers Choose Zero Energy Ready Homes
At EG Home, our high-performance homes are a testament to our commitment to energy efficiency, innovation, and our home buyers’ well-being. Zero Energy Ready homes offer energy savings and reduced utility bills, as well as healthier living environments. With an array of cutting-edge features, our home buyers enjoy an independently inspected home that ensures unparalleled comfort and long-lasting durability.

Certified DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes
At EG Home, we are committed to building DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes that exceed industry standards for efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. Certified by the Department of Energy, our homes are 80% more efficient than standard builds, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.

With cutting-edge design and advanced electrification, EG Home delivers homes that prioritize comfort, energy savings, and a greener future—ensuring a smarter, more sustainable lifestyle for homeowners and communities alike.
Healthier Indoor Environments
EG Home prioritizes clean, fresh air with Indoor airPLUS certification and Broan Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) systems, which continuously filter air and adjust to indoor and outdoor conditions. These systems remove pollutants and excess moisture, ensuring a healthier living space.
Our sound-dampening construction enhances tranquility, while induction cooking eliminates harmful gas emissions for a safer kitchen environment. Plus, our electric fireplaces provide a cozy ambiance without indoor air pollution. With these innovations, EG Home delivers a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment.
High-Quality Energy Efficient Materials
Energy-efficient homes rely on superior materials for maximum comfort and savings. The entire building envelope—walls, floors, and ceilings—must be properly insulated and sealed to achieve optimal R-values based on the local climate. We use spray foam insulation to seal all gaps to enhance indoor air quality and reduce energy loss. Insulated and partially conditioned basements ensure energy efficiency, too.
These high-quality materials result in lower energy bills, as Zero Energy Ready homes use 25% less energy than standard new homes. The superior levels of quality, efficiency, durability, and sustainability consciously built into each home provide comfort and savings for years to come.
Solar-Ready Home Design
A solar-ready home design makes integrating solar energy simple and cost-effective. By preparing your home for solar panel installation, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate your energy costs. Solar panels not only lower monthly utility bills but also increase your home’s resale value, providing long-term financial benefits. Embracing renewable energy ensures energy independence and promotes sustainability.
Additionally, our homes are third-party tested and free of fossil fuels and VOCs, creating a healthier environment with the lightest carbon footprint. Solar-ready homes combine sustainable energy with eco-conscious living, offering a brighter future for both homeowners and the planet.
