This document summarizes the construction of a near net zero energy home in Virginia that achieved a HERS index of 21, making it 79% more efficient than a standard home. Key aspects that contributed to its high efficiency include dense-packed cellulose insulation, air sealing to 0.06 ACH, a geothermal HVAC system, solar panels producing 30-40% of energy needs in winter, and passive solar design. The homeowners' average electric bill for the first 10 months was $58.21 per month, much lower than for a typical home, demonstrating the significant energy and cost savings of the design approaches used.
This document outlines a presentation given by Mark Price on LEED for Homes and ENERGY STAR for Homes.

CalStar has developed a new type of architectural masonry unit called fly ash brick (FAB) made primarily from fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion. FAB requires less energy to produce than traditional clay brick, contains recycled content, and reduces carbon emissions. It is competitively priced with other masonry options and provides a sustainable alternative for the masonry industry in the Midwest and beyond. FAB performs similarly to clay brick but with a lower environmental impact through its use of an industrial byproduct and more efficient manufacturing process.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Sean Penrith and Duane Woik of the Earth Advantage Institute on home energy labeling. They discussed the benefits of implementing a simple "MPG label" for homes to guide homeowners and incentivize builders toward greater energy efficiency. Examples from Europe, Australia, Oregon and Washington state showed how a standardized energy performance score can quantify a home's energy use and emissions in a way that motivates upgrades. Pilot programs found that labels increased demand for efficiency improvements and allowed better comparison of homes' energy impacts. The speakers advocated for a national home labeling system that rates absolute annual energy consumption and emissions.
