Acorn Deck House recently designed and manufactured two homes that achieved a “negative” HERS Index rating, meaning that these homes generate more energy than they consume! Tight house envelopes, energy efficient windows, advanced off-site manufacturing techniques, and renewable energy sourcing all contributed to Acorn Deck House producing these remarkably efficient homes.
Acorn Deck House's innovative designs, coupled with owners for whom energy efficiency is a priority, made these negative HERS ratings possible.

By leveraging passive solar principles, advanced building techniques, and high-performance energy systems, these homes not only provide exceptional comfort and livability, but they also contribute to a more sustainable future by reducing energy consumption and even generating clean, renewable energy.
