Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
An ADU is a financial investment which can reduce future energy, utility, and operating costs for the single family home owner. Design and Planning of a Net Zero Energy ADU includes interactive models of the proposed building envelope, electric and mechanical systems to minimize energy use and life cycle operating costs.
Your Net-Zero-Energy ADU can be used for rental income, it can be used as additional home office/living space, it can be exchanged for a vacation rental, or for visits from family and friends. We provide a design that meetings your needs and and uses. A new Net-Zero-Energy ADU project is an investment in your future–and the future of the planet.
Site Planning for Long-Term-Sustainability Goals
From adaptive reuse of your existing structure, such as your garage, over minimizing the footprint of your new construction and hardscape, to using the roof overhangs or balconies for rainwater collection and management, we’ll make sure you get the most out of your ADU.
Energy Management (Photovoltaic and On-Site Storage)
We’ll help you with your energy management by helping you choose the right photovoltaic system for energy generation based on cost vs. benefits and the limitations of storage, as well as the optimal battery for on-site storage to ensure that you maximize your benefits.
