Theta Homes received "2022 Building Sustainability Award for Single Family Project of the Year!" for the Alcazar Residence. This award is selected and given by Viridiant that administers and certifies the EarthCraft program.

This home received a HERS score of 41, meaning the home is 59% more efficient than a similar code built home. We did a number of things that is over and beyond the norm that helped us make this home so energy efficient. Most importantly, this home has excellent indoor air quality with the use of ERV and high efficiency filters.

Coincidentally, the owners installed a solar photovoltaic (PV) system recently that went live on Sep 13. The addition of the PV lowered the HERS score to -8. This is amazing as it basically means the house is producing more electricity than it consumes.
