This Victorian-style duplex was beautifully designed to not only be breathtaking but also eco-friendly and highly efficient, outfitted with integrated smart-home ecosystems designed to further the projects’ efficiency and sustainability. Led by the visionary team, the Mountain Life Companies, the Epic on French is taking sustainable living to a new level. Garratt Hasenstab, developer for Epic on French, explained that, “Heritage Homes’ dedication to building green and ultra-efficiency far exceeds any other off-site builder we have worked with or discussed projects within the past.” This required Heritage Homes to conform to the early 1900’s Victorian-style, very different than the majority of their builds, and included custom built-ins and dormers with prismatic vaults. The project included 11 modular sections.

Heritage Homes of Nebraska with The Mountain Life Companies received the 2019 National Green Home of the Year Award for Best Off-Site Construction from Green Builder Magazine. The judges noted the project was “super-efficient and a great use of resources.” In addition to this award, the project achieved LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

“To achieve LEED certification, a project earns points by adhering to prerequisites and credits that address carbon, energy, water, waste, transportation, materials, health and indoor environmental quality. Projects go through a verification and review process by GBCI and are awarded points that correspond to a level of LEED certification: Certified (40-49 points), Silver (50-59 points), Gold (60-79 points) and Platinum (80+ points).” [From usgbc.org ]
