Electrifying Homes with SPAN: Unlocking High Performance and Zero Energy Living

SPAN enables home electrification and enhances performance through its smart electrical panel, making it a clear choice for inclusion in the VISION House Las Vegas project to meet Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) standards.

All hands are on deck to make homes as close to zero energy as possible. From solar panels and energy-efficient appliances to the electrification of homes, it's a logical next step to distance ourselves from natural gas and embrace clean energy options to optimize home performance.

At SPAN, this vision comes to life through their smart electrical panels, which not only enable the electrification of homes and enhance performance but also make it easy for homeowners to understand and manage their electricity needs. The simplicity and user-friendliness of the device, combined with its ability to drive efficiency, made it an obvious choice for inclusion in the VISION House Las Vegas project.

Sara Gutterman, CEO of Green Builder Media, met with Arch Rao, CEO of SPAN, to discuss the growing momentum for all-electric homes and the pivotal role SPAN will play in the VISION House Las Vegas project.

Rao observes, “As electric technology has advanced and become more affordable, we’re seeing a natural progression of customers adopting these technologies.”

More consumers are switching to electrical appliances like heat pumps, induction cooktops, and electric water heaters because they offer comparable or superior performance to traditional options, save on utility costs, and are better for the environment.

However, electrification increases the demand for power from the grid. Many traditional homes need new power lines to double their power capacity, which is both expensive and time-consuming.

Rao explains, “SPAN offers a solution by acting as a control system for all your home’s devices. This allows you to fully electrify your home without the need for costly and lengthy power line upgrades, as we serve as the interface between the grid and your devices.”

VISION House Las Vegas will feature SPAN’s cutting-edge smart electrical panel, showcasing that sustainable, net-zero living is both achievable and affordable on a large scale.

“SPAN appreciates the leadership of companies like Green Builder Media and Beazer Homes that are not just talking about electrification but actually doing it. Having a project like VISION House Las Vegas serves to educate occupants and builders about the benefits of a fully electric home managed by SPAN,” states Rao.
