Metro Green’s verified net-zero projects are designed so that on-site energy generation meets—or exceeds—the home’s total annual energy demand. These residences achieve this rigorous standard by first reducing energy loads through high-performance envelope design and passive strategies, then meeting that reduced demand with renewable energy systems.

While not every project is designed to achieve net-zero certification, we believe every custom home benefits from these same principles.

Our work begins with a super-insulated, carefully detailed building envelope that minimizes heat loss and heat gain while controlling air movement. High-performance windows and doors, continuous air barriers, and energy-recovery ventilation systems create stable interior environments with consistent temperatures and filtered fresh air.
