ZERO ENERGY COMMUNITIES

Transformations as Developer

Transformations has several zero energy communities both in the ground and in planning stage in Massachusetts. All of the homes are now being built with the goal of being net zero energy and energy positive homes.  Each home is designed to produce more energy than consumed over the course of a year when combining solar (PV) energy, efficient mini-split heat pumps, along with other environmentally sustainable devices to make homes as efficient and comfortable as possible. Most of the development plans have a traditional New England styles including Greek revivals, colonials, victorians, saltboxes, farm houses, and carriage houses.

Consulting for other Builders and Developers

Transformations offers consulting for builders and developers that want to incorporate more energy efficient techniques into their homes.  The Transformations Zero Energy Home platform is very cost effective to build in states with Energy Star incentives and Solar Renewable Energy Credits.  In Massachusetts, we have found the marginal cost to get to Zero Energy from a Stretch Code Town (HERS 65 or 70 depending on the size) to a HERS Index of 0 is about $3.00 per square foot with a Transformations solar electric lease.  Please email us by clicking here for consulting rates and inquire about your project today.

Transformations also installs solar electric systems for builders and developers in our Builder Program.  Please email us by clicking here for details on this exciting solar installation program for builders and developers.
