NetPLUS Concepts - Your home and your energy in one comfortable package.

Single-Family Homes -

NetPLUS Concepts' technologies are perfectly suited to detached, single-family home construction. In fact, much of the original research and development behind what has become the NetPLUS Concept was performed in the single-family home context.

The NetPLUS Rationale -

With few exceptions, NetPLUS Concepts-compliant homes can be designed to fit any architectural style and any exterior or interior aesthetic treatments imaginable. Only the total construction budget limits the size of NetPLUS Concepts-compliant houses.

The fact that mansions can be built as cost-effectively as starter homes means that per square foot finished construction costs are competitive with “conventional” construction methods.

Construction materials and processes are specified to produce attractive homes with minimal maintenance requirements. NetPLUS structures are designed to exceed national and local codes, even in areas subject to severe weather conditions.

The NetPLUS Proposal -

According to the US Census Bureau, single family detached homes comprise 60% of US residences, dwarfing the next nearest residential category (apartment buildings with five or more units) by a margin of about three and a half to one.

Initially counterintuitive, the notion of replacing a significant number of houses becomes entirely defensible when the economics of the situation are closely examined.(Obviously some of our housing stock needs to be preserved due to its historical or architectural significance, and demolition would not make financial sense for many newer homes). However, considering the many obsolete homes in the inventory—those which need extensive repairs and/or remodeling—replacement becomes a very cost-effective solution.

With over 20% US energy consumption being used by the residential sector, if a significant portion of this segment could be reduced to zero, energy imports would drop correspondingly.

What makes this solution so elegant is that there is no need for extensive government subsidization, as the entire burden for the cost of this reconstruction could be financed using low interest loans.
