ZNE New Home Site 1
Project Number ET11SCE2030 Organization SCE End-use Whole Building Sector Residential Project Year(s) 2011 - 2014Description
SCE will document the process of achieving the statewide goal of ZNE through a hands-on, engaged and collaborative approach. Primary goals of the project include increasing market exposure of already-proven EE/DR/DG/ES technologies and addressing market barriers to ZNE in support of CA's Strategic Plan (CLTEESP).
Project Results
Southern California Edison’s (SCEs) Emerging Technologies Program (ETP) partnered with an industry-leading homebuilder to design and construct a new, replicable, affordable Zero Net Energy (ZNE) single-family home. This ZNE home – now built and occupied in Ontario, CA – aims to demonstrate to the Southern California homebuilder community that ZNE homes can be constructed using prevalent building practices and sold for a reasonable incremental cost.
The three main tasks of this project are to: identify a progressive homebuilder with expert experience in the new construction home industry, collaborate with the homebuilder to design and construct a ZNE home based on mutually agreed upon technologies and practices, and learn from all facets of the new home industry to help overcome existing market barriers to ZNE homes.
