The Montana Zero Energy House Project is designed to be a sustainable building demonstration house and learning center comprised of two MSU Family Housing homes. The two homes will be connected to one another and serve as before and after examples of building green. The 580 sq. ft. renovated Zero Energy home -the "after" home- will showcase practical and financially feasible ways for home owners and builders alike to save energy and water while saving money and building a healthier home. The before and after homes will be connected by a demonstration courtyard and deck.

The Montana Zero Energy House will feature:

Energy-efficient lighting and natural daylighting
Solar PV array
Efficient use and reuse of water
Energy efficient heating
- Maximization of passive solar
- Solar hot water heat
Energy Star appliances
No-VOC paints and finishes
Resource-efficient materials
Universal design
Drought-tolerant, native species landscaping/xeriscaping

Workshops, tours and school programs will be available.
