The SwiPHt Homes Neighborhood Project is the first in Wisconsin that incorporates an educational component. It will serve as a model development for the entire Upper Midwest, and you have an opportunity to see it on this year’s Parade of Homes.

A Passive House Instructional Facility utilizes a design and construction model that focuses on sustainability and energy efficiency. Utilizing the sun’s energy, proper siting of the property, energy-efficient building materials and techniques and a quality ventilation system, homeowners can realize a 90 percent cost savings in their utilities. By using minimal renewable energy systems, such as photovoltaic or residential wind, passive homes can be easily converted to zero-energy homes. Passive homes are also comfortable and ecological.
