5 Deep Dives from VISION House Las Vegas

The countdown has started! You can visit the VISION House Las Vegas while you are at IBS/KBIS February 25–28. For now, here are some deep dives on various aspects of the project.

The VISION House Las Vegas will provide a behind-the-scenes look at how Beazer is meeting its industry-leading commitment to deliver 100% U.S. DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes by the end of 2025.

The three homes (deconstructed, baseline, and upgraded) will spotlight net zero, electrification, energy and water efficiency, healthy home, solar + storage, resiliency, and cost-effectiveness.

Whether you are planning to go to the show or not, we have encapsulated the development of this groundbreaking project in the blogs on our microsite on the project. Read select coverage of the project below and check back often as we get closer to the grand reveal and add more information and photos. 

1. Check out this great interview between Green Builder Media CEO Sara Gutterman and Beazer Homes CEO Allan Merrill. It covers the crux of the VHLV project and how it is groundbreaking for the building industry. 
2. Ever wondered about how solar + storage contributes to Zero Energy Ready Homes? This primer on how things are set up with the VHLV project will give you great ideas for your next build. 
3. A key component to a net-zero-energy ready home is a tough exterior. Here’s a breakdown on what exterior projects and systems make this demonstration project a step above typical production home building. 
4. There is a marked shift towards sustainable housing options. Major events like COVID-19 and the transition to working from home, coupled with the rise in EV ownership and the need for at-home charging, have led builders to modernize and redesign homes. Here’s how Beazer addresses these new realities. 
5. Managing energy and water use along with a safe and secure home is easier in a smart connected house. But what exactly is a connected home? How can smart tech be included in homes in a smart and cost-effective way? Click here and learn how.
