The Fraser Net Zero Energy Home is a new ‘100 year’, Net-Zero energy house outside of Fraser, CO. Recognizing the beautiful, but extremely harsh environment, this year round residence applies a host of passive and active building technologies with real time monitoring devices to ensure an inviting and inspiring home. Properly orientated, the open floor plan makes the most of daylighting and passive solar heating and cooling strategies. With a 17 kilowatt PV system and an evacuated tube solar thermal array, the 5,232 square foot home is grid-tied and all electric, but uses no fossil fuels.

The contemporary mountain house melds technology with poetry through a palate of natural materials both inside and out. Truth in materiality is expressed in the form of exposed concrete floors and timber trusses as well as reclaimed snow-fence and corrugated zinc siding. Amongst the windswept rocks and trees, this warm and inviting home is truly built to stand the test of time.
