This is your chance to own a newly constructed Net Zero Energy Ready home in beautiful Lander WY! A net zero energy home is a residential building that generates as much energy as it consumes over the course of a year. In other words, the total energy produced by the home's solar panels offsets the energy consumed by the home's appliances, heating, cooling, and other energy needs. The primary goal of a net zero energy home is to achieve a balance between energy generation and energy consumption, resulting in minimal or no net energy consumption from the grid. In order to accomplish this objective, the home features highly efficient systems, assemblies and planning that is uncommon in Wyoming, but common in other areas of the US, Europe and similarly situated climates in Canada. This build includes technology from the University of Wyoming to implement technology to create an efficient, comfortable and beautiful home. Exterior wall assemblies include 2" of insulated and sealed zip sheeting and >5" of spray foam to provide an R rating of 45. Roof assemblies resulted in R ratings of 60. The multiple windows of this home are triple pane Alpen windows with European style hardware that allows the windows to tilt or fully open depending on your needs. One of the newest innovations that 42 Owl Canyon features is a highly efficient heat pump from Arctic Heat Pumps to heat and cool the floor slab. This system heats and cools with over 70% savings of traditional heating equipment which is again can be totally offset by a the solar system. Speaking of solar, this house is designed for a 15.5 KW system with 32-485Watt Panels on the roof along with 2-7.5 KwH battery storage units for plenty of energy at all times of year, day or night. The house is planned to be "grid tied" with battery backup so if you are generating a surplus of energy, the electrical company will let you build these funds up as credit on the account. During power outages, batteries can maintain electricity to the house and garage. The house also includes a ERV system to mechanically bring fresh air throughout the home and also exhaust air from the living space to create a healthy, self regulating interior climate. Finally, attention to orientation and sun location throughout the year will ensure strong passive solar heat gain through the winter and shading during the summer to help keep cool. Inside this beautifully finished custom home you will love the 9' ceilings throughout the main floor that vaults to over 27' high in the great room. All of this space is bathed in natural light thanks to the abundance of large triple pane windows facing all directions.
