The home has a HERS rating of .43, thus using 43% of the energy that an average home of its size would consume. West Virginia’s first LEED home is also Platinum certified, the highest of LEED certifications. The Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Energy System was designed by Pickering Energy Solutions and produces enough energy to power the entire home year-round.

Our Process
We believe in creating a culture of sustainability within our Company and through the services we provide to our clients.
Pickering utilized Building Information Modeling to conduct a building performance analysis outlining impacts of design as well as to create realistic interior and exterior renderings to showcase design.
The 3D model was used to assist in the design and construction of the project, and later to develop educational tools and diagrams explaining the sustainable strategies used throughout design.
