EARTH DAY INVITATION: The walls are up! You are invited to a MEDIA TOUR to walk through the Zero Energy Home. CALL 717-838-3668 to schedule!
H. R. Weaver Building Systems, Inc., launched a new website, www.projectzeroenergy.com to show the progress of the Zero Energy Home as it is being completed.
According to Chad Weaver, president of H. R. Weaver Building Systems, the website features links to the project details, photos of the home in process, partners who assisted with the construction, and a special link for media coverage.
“We designed the website to highlight the energy saving construction methods and the materials used in the construction,” said Weaver. “Our goal is to keep people updated on our progress so they can see this innovative home—the first in central Pennsylvania—maybe even Pennsylvania, as it is being completed.”
Weaver also noted that the technology used is affordable and available.
“The new legislation—the stimulus packages from both the federal and state—make solar energy possible to everyone if you have knowledge of the programs,” said Weaver. “When you review the programs, most homeowners will be able to purchase the energy savings technology and it will not effect the bottom line –your construction budget.”
The H.R Weaver Building team has been researching and designing the ZERO ENERGY HOME for nine months based on a theory that the home could be heated by a light bulb. The result was a plan for a 2,300-square-foot home with 15 rooms and a two-car garage nestled on a 5-acre lot.
“Zero energy doesn't mean a house uses no energy, it means the house combines on-site power generation with efficient structural materials to return a net zero utility cost,” added Weaver. “By producing green energy and avoiding fossil fuel consumption we create a living space that leaves little or no carbon footprint.”
“Think Weaver” is the slogan when thinking a building project. For more information, contact H.R. Weaver Building Systems at (717) 838-3753, or visit the offices at 47 Palmyra-Bellegrove Rd, Annville Pa. 17003.
