Join Emerging Green Builders for a green building tour! Come explore Zeta Communities' new Net Zero Energy Prefab demonstration townhouse in Oakland near Fruitvale BART. This 1,540 square foot townhouse has received LEED Platinum, 240 GreenPoint, EPA Indoor Airplus, Energy Star, DOE's Builders Challenge, and grand winner of Green Builder magazine's 2009 home of the year competition.
Located in a colorful mixed industrial/artist/residential urban neighborhood near the Oakland Estuary, BART, and services, ZETA launched the first net zero energy, urban infill, multifamily project. Each of the two 1,540 square foot, zero lot line, live/work townhomes provide a ground floor work studio, 2-bedrooms, light-filled great rooms, decks, and sustainable landscaping, in addition to a one car parking garage. As a participant in the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America Research Program, ZETA is demonstrating an affordable solution to achieving net zero energy and LEED Platinum multifamily housing through advanced building energy systems and energy efficient technologies. ZETA's first net zero energy live/work townhome achieved a LEED Platinum rating, a 240 Green Point Rating, and EPA's highest indoor air rating, Indoor airPLUS. Additionally, this project has qualified for the DOE's Builders Challenge program that sets a high bar for building energy efficiency.
