Net Zero Home Plans

Intentional design with sustainability in mind.

Our design goal is ambitious because zero-energy doesn't happen by accident. Every aspect of the home's design is optimized, and every construction detail executed flawlessly. 

Award-winning design

We have won more Department of Energy Housing Innovation Awards than any other builder in the USA. Legend Homes has received the Zero Energy Ready Housing Innovation Award every year since 2019.

Elements of design.

Enlarged south-facing roof maximizes space for solar panels powering the house, electric cars & grid.

Position triple-pane windows facing south shaded by eaves & porches to avoid excess summer heat while capturing sun in the winter winter.

Sustainabiltiy in every corner.

Concrete slab foundation insulated with foam underneath allows for radiant heat in winter.

Walls and roof made of thick structural insulated panels (SIPs) for extreme insulation & air tightness

Natural appeal.

We embrace our surroundings and in many cases repurpose materials from the build-site to reduce the impact of importing materials....

Building for the future.

"Our house is energy efficient and has a perfect layout for our family. It was also built for a very reasonable price compared to other builders and buying an existing inefficient, smaller home. The team at TC Legend is professional and personable and encourages involvement in the design and build process."
