Zero Energy Homes of the Future in New Paltz, NY!

Green Acres Community
 
“Green Acres” is a 25-homesite community in the Village of New Paltz that is trailblazing the way for sustainable housing.  Using state of the art combined technologies, all homes will have the ability to achieve Zero Net Energy.  One spectacular home is complete and the new homeowners are happily watching their Central Hudson Meter go backwards!  There are two other homes currently under construction and for sale.  Most homes will feature Shawangunk Mountain Views!

The visionary builder is Anthony Aebi of Greenhill Contracting.  His prototype home in Esopus received Energy Star certification for Zero Energy. It was the first home in the state of New York to do so! Using photovoltaic solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, superior insulation (insulated concrete form walls and triple-pane windows) and a heat recovery ventilation system, this home actually consumes less energy than it produces.  The same technology is being implemented in all new homes in Green Acres.
