What Does Net-Zero Look Like in North Carolina?

Lindsay Brecheisen — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 21:14:05 +0000

We are thrilled to showcase Array, one of our Zero Energy Blueprint partners and the first 100% net-zero community in North Carolina. Situated in Orange County, Array boasts a charming 12-lot neighborhood, with more than half of its land dedicated to open spaces, encompassing scenic walking trails, community gardens, and inviting gathering areas. We have been collaborating closely with Array's developers since 2019. To support them in achieving their net-zero and sustainability goals, we took charge of consulting on community sustainability standards, providing energy modeling for the homes, along with the implementation of solar technology.

As a net-zero community, Array ensures a perfect equilibrium between energy production and consumption. Array embodies everything Southern Energy Management (SEM) values in a community: a deep-rooted passion for the environment and the land, and the conviction that we can coexist harmoniously with nature, not just simply occupy it.

Let's dive in and explore Array and the awesome development duo behind North Carolina's first-ever 100% net-zero community!
