Elevation for Ferrier Builders prototype home in Dallas, TX

Ferrier Builders was accepted into the BA-PIRC program in the fall of 2006. They are an award winning custom home builder in the Dallas, TX area who builds exclusively with SIP panels. The builder, achieving HERS Indices from 47-55, utilizes passive solar techniques, solar DHW and sealed attics. In 2007, BA-PIRC performed Energy Gauge simulations and prepared a report for the Hartsell Zero-energy concept home (figure right), redesigned by GGO Architects for Ferrier Custom homes of Ft. Worth, TX. The home included a crawlspace foundation and SEER 17 Daikin ductless air conditioning. However, this home did not progress beyond the design stage.
