EcoVillage: A Net Zero Energy Ready Community - Ithaca Crawlspace
- Steven Winter Associates of the Consortium for Advanced Residential Buildings
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Building America team, Consortium for Residential Buildings (CARB), is working with the EcoVillage cohousing community in Ithaca, New York, on the Third Residential EcoVillage Experience neighborhood. This community-scale project consists of 40 housing units-15 apartments and 25 single-family residences. Units range in size from 450 ft2 to 1,664 ft2 and cost from $80,000 for a studio apartment to $235,000 for a three- or four-bedroom single-family home. The community is pursuing certifications for DOE Zero Energy Ready Home, U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold, and ENERGY STAR for the entire project. Additionally, seven of the 25 homes, along with the four-story apartment building and community center, are being constructed to the Passive House (PH) design standard.
