This tidy Zero-Energy home, with a 4.8 KW solar PV system and a 40-tube solar hot water heater on the south facing roof face, has everything you could ask for! The second bedroom and main bathroom on the mail level are designed for handicapped access. The two-master suite concept has been very popular with today’s early retirees, who tend to entertain a lot of house guests. Many couples will share a summer home and a winter home with another couple, this plan would lend itself to that lifestyle. It also offers the opportunity to take care of an elderly parent in the second main floor bedroom. Like the other homes in our Cottage series, the garage can be extended to hold two or more vehicles.

What's Included in Our Zero-Energy Home Packages
We provide the most complete plan packages available on the market. We are interested in the ultimate success of your project, not just in selling a set of house plans.
Please scroll down to view the list of pages and information included in our plan packages.
The following table describes the typical number of plan copies needed to build one of our Low Energy Use Homes.
Basic Plan Set
Our Basic Plan Set includes just one copy of each page, for a total of approximately fifteen pages if on 11×17 paper, about eight pages if on 24×36 paper. Our pages can be either be printed on 11×17 paper, in high resolution, either 1/8″ or 3/16″ scale, depending on the size of the house, or we can print on full 24’x36″ “D” size architectural paper. Some local Building Departments have expressed an appreciation for the smaller size of page, because of the readability, and ease of viewing multiple pages at one time. It is also much easier to get additional copies made if you should need them. Larger page sizes are required by some jurusdictions, so be sure to ask before completing your order which size is required.
Full Building Set
Our Full Building Set includes the total number of plan pages shown on the spreadsheet below, at a slightly increased price to cover our additional costs.
Our Basic Plan Set and Full Building Set both include the Heat Loss Calculation Spreadsheet, Heating/Cooling system specifications, SIPS shop drawings, and Built Green® checklist.
