The McKnight Lane Housing Development in Waltham, Vermont,
. . . is doing what no affordable housing project has done before:
It is offering rural, low-income tenants,
. . . zero-energy, single-family housing, that also includes,
. . . resilient solar energy storage systems.
VERMOD modular homes,
. . . were designed to be so energy efficient,
. . . that with the addition of the solar panels,
. . . the electricity cost for the homes is expected to be,
. . . zero over the course of a year,
. . . even though the home’s:
. . . . . . Heating,
. . . . . . Cooling,
. . . . . . Ventilation systems, and
. . . . . . all major appliances, are powered by electricity.
The rents for the homes,
. . . are below market,
. . . will serve households below
. . . 60% of area median income; and
. . . the rent will include electricity.
