This document summarizes the green and sustainable features of a near-zero energy home, including insulated concrete forms, structural insulated panels, solar panels, tankless water heater, dual flush toilets, and various recycled and sustainable materials. It also discusses options for building any style of green home and choosing eco-friendly flooring, roofing, and other components made from recycled, sustainable, or replenishable materials.
