Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity, Simple City Studio, and VEIC present PV Habitat’s award-winning experiment in affordable net-zero housing. Using data from a recent build, PV Habitat compares build time, cost, and energy efficiency between modular and stick-built construction, focusing on the trade-offs between affordability and energy efficiency, and examining where design can simplify or complicate a build. At the cutting edge of affordable housing, these recent builds expand on PV Habitat’s efforts to build small, durable, and affordable homes, and demonstrate that a home does not have to be expensive to be innovative and energy-efficient. Learn how small, durable, zero net energy homes can pave a way to the future of affordable homeownership, where energy efficiency radically reduces utility bills and well-designed small homes offer sufficient, flexible spaces for a variety of family sizes.
