Tech Panels
These are pre-fabricated Structural Insulated Panels made with award winning non-combustible, carbon neutral, cement based structural sheeting. Your home will be highly energy efficient, fire & extreme weather resilient, and built to withstand significant earthquakes. The roof panels are a non-vented roof assembly and meet the strict Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) standards.
ReveCork Siding
Your siding is environmentally friendly with carbon capture and fire resilience. Natural cork bark is harvested, ground into particles and then emulsified into an acrylic mixture. It is tinted to a desired color like paint and then applied in a coating that resembles stucco. It is 100% waterproof and breathable. This siding seals your home and increases the fire rating, thermal and acoustic insulation.
Solar-Covered Parking
Each unit is all electric and includes ductless mini-splits and hot water heaters. The community was preliminarily energy modeled with the Energy Trust of Oregon. True South Solar took the model and designed the solar covered parking to produce 100% of the projected annual energy usage for all homes and community buildings.
