We are thrilled to share with you that our clients, Harvey and Kay’s “A Pleasant Future Vision” Passive House Institute of the United State PHIUS+ Zero 2021 certified passive house, the first in Michigan and the first design-certified PHIUS+ 2021 home worldwide, has been recognized by Green Builder Magazine as their 2025 Green Home of the Year in the Main Stream Green category. This amazing home is not only the winner in this prestigious competition but achieved a remarkable 0.23 ACH 50 which is three times tighter than the Passive House standard requires, making it one of, if not the, tightest homes built to date in Michigan. The advanced building science guiding the design process executed by AR Project Designer, Susan Hall CPHC combined with industry leading building practices and superior project management of our builder colleague, Jake Lappan of Fireside Home Construction, yielded a home with a remarkable RESNET HERS score of minus 20, and a Carbon Index score of minus 22. Meaning this home is not only Net Zero Energy, but carbon sequestering. In addition this home was also recognized with the 2024 US DOE Housing Innovation Award and the 2024 MEECA – Residential Project of the Year Award. Congratulations to our deservedly proud homeowners Harvey and Kay! https://tinyurl.com/4zzap3sd
