September 28, 2024
Nestled in the prairie on a gentle slope overlooking a pond, a site in Bloomington presented the perfect opportunity to build a net-zero home. The all-electric, highly insulated house with triple-pane windows, high-efficiency appliances, LED lighting, solar-paneled roof and geothermal heat pump system produces as much electricity as it consumes. Cedar accents and black corrugated metal help define the home’s elegance, as does a dream kitchen, two-story living and dining space as well as screened porches that maximize outdoor views.
