GEOs Net-Zero Energy Mixed-Use Neighborhood

The Geos Neighborhood is laid out to optimally use the unique Colorado climate and environment: highest solar gains for the winter, lowest sun exposure for the summer and maximum water retention for the heavy rains. Walls and windows of the homes will be so energy efficient that ground source heating and cooling becomes affordable and solar pv can fully provide the electricity that each home needs. The result is a net-zero energy neighborhood that reduces waste, water use, and car trips, while providing locally-grown healthy food, and incorporates great places for kids, seniors, and people of all ages.
