Earning a DOE Zero-Energy Ready Certification

Builder Brady Barkdull built this contemporary farmhouse using stock plans customized to increase the number of windows, create a more open living area, and meet a number of other needs. The home earned DOE Zero Energy Ready certification despite the lack of double-stud wall assembly because of the focus on quality windows, a high-performance space-heating and water-heating system, and air-sealing details. Unique features of the home include the 33 different truss profiles in the roof, which has multiple elevation changes, and the bonus conditioned space above the garage.
