Show Village preview: A sneak peek at three cutting-edge IBS show homes

BASF Beyond High Performance Net Zero Home

Designed and sponsored exclusively by BASF, this 918-square-foot, five-room house will offer IBS attendees a unique look into the features and products behind a high-performance home of the future. The BASF Beyond High Performance Net Zero Home is built to achieve energy performance at least 50 percent better than a code-built home and incorporates renewable energy efficiently and cost effectively to allow homeowners to reach net-zero-energy performance without breaking the bank.

Builders will be able to tour the home in two stages — under construction and finished — to see nearly two dozen featured products in action. These materials and systems allow the home to achieve not only a high level of energy efficiency, but also improved indoor air quality and water efficiency — the home is designed to reduce water use by at least 20 percent.

“The BASF Beyond High Performance Net Zero Home and program will help builders apply the principles of building science to achieve homes that go beyond typical new construction in a wide range of metrics and features — from energy efficiency and water efficiency to improved indoor air quality and comfort,” says Rick Davenport, BASF director of sustainable construction.
