Zero-Energy Plans, LLC has been established as a mechanism to provide proven Energy Efficient home designs to mainstream builders and do-it-yourselfers worldwide. Each of the High Performance Home Designs available through this site will use less than half the energy of a home built to the 2006 IECC, and have roof plans allowing sufficient south facing space for at least 3 KW of photovoltaic solar panels. And most importantly, they are very affordable, and all look like normal homes! Each plan in this collection has been built at least once, except as noted (currently under construction). Each plan has been updated to reflect any changes that may have taken place during construction. Every home built to these plans is qualified under the IRS Tax Code Section 1332, Credit for Construction of New Energy Efficient Homes of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This important Tax Credit has been renewed through 2009. ORDER YOUR ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME PLANS TODAY! OUR HOME PLAN SETS INCLUDE COMPLETE GREEN BUILDING GUIDELINES!
