Jeff Day and Associates command a great team of architects who are leaders in bringing energy efficiency to our client projects. For this project, our client’s wanted a net-zero energy home. St. Louis Homes and Lifestyles Magazine featured our work on this 3800 square foot home near Troy Illinois.
Located just outside of Troy, IL, on land that previously housed a 6.3-acre dairy farm in St. Jacob, IL, is the area’s first residential wind turbine. The turbine is actually just one of a slew of energy efficient design strategies showcased in this new 3,800-square-foot home and 4,750-square-foot barn and recreational space.
Knowing this would be where they will retire 20-30 years from now, homeowners Nathan and Jennifer Verning were committed to building energy-efficient, knowing that an initial investment now would eventually pay off with significant energy savings in the future.
