Lake City, Colo., Jan. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beazer Homes and Green Builder Media have partnered to build three show homes, which will be available for tours throughout IBS/KBIS 2025, February 24–28. (The models are located in Henderson, Nev., and are open seven days a week. Hours are from 10 am–6 pm all days except for Monday, which is 1–6 pm.)
Come experience in person how production home building has crossed the Rubicon to fabulous market-rate homes built to the country’s most respected energy-efficiency building standard while delivering the design today’s home buyers expect.
“We are thrilled to partner with Beazer Homes to highlight the company’s commitment to zero energy home building,” says Green Builder Media CEO Sara Gutterman. “As climate-responsive design strategies, building science best practices, and net zero carbon construction approaches evolve, sustainable homes will exist at attainable price points at every level of the market. The VISION House Las Vegas will demonstrate this, spotlighting net zero, electrification, energy and water efficiency, healthy home, solar + storage, resiliency, and cost-effectiveness.”
“We are going to have zero energy ready homes across our entire portfolio,” says Beazer Home’s President and CEO Allan Merrill. “We promote it every day to our home buyers, but we also want our competitors, regulatory authorities, and others to see that this is not a science experiment. This is something that can be done at scale. It can be done within the combined constraints of consumer preferences, affordability, and the expectations on public companies to generate returns for shareholders. Working with a partner like Green Builder Media on The VISION House Las Vegas gives us an opportunity to tell that story.”
