7.2kW Carbon Neutral Residence

When the owners of this Rockingham, Virginia home approached Beck Builders, they had a clear goal in mind to live in a carbon-neutral residence. To achieve this, Beck Builders implemented a range of innovative technologies. These included a 7.2kW photovoltaic system, a horizontal geothermal looped system, and robust insulation. The system was designed not only to meet the net-zero energy goal but also to power an electric car charger. The homeowners' hope is to eventually offset other carbon-intensive aspects of their lives, such as airline travel, by saving excess energy.
