Plant Prefab Announces the Passive House-Certified LivingHomes

— March 11, 2021 — Tech
Plant Prefab announces a series of Passive House-certified modular home designs entitled LivingHomes that are simplistic and have a captivating aesthetic. All of these are designed in partnership with Richard Pedranti Architect, a design company based in Pennsylvania. The LivingHomes series is the brand's line of sustainable buildings that have net-zero options.

The company is keeping consumers in mind that are seeking a sustainable option that is built from the ground up. It is a 2 story home with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms measuring out to be 2218 square feet and topped off with a gabled zinc roof. The estimated price is about $586,257 and about $928,407 for a completed house. In order to be certified as a Passive House, the modular designs must have a high degree of insulation, solar orientation requirements, high performing windows and doors, and much more.
