Starting from the bottom up with energy-saving products and construction practices made it possible for High Performance Homes to receive its third consecutive Housing Innovation Award for "Home of the Year" in 2017 presented by the U.S. Department of Energy. Located at the Links of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, the stunningly energy-efficient house started with a precast concrete foundation from Superior Walls.

"Green is our company's favorite color," says Kiere DeGrandchamp, director of construction operations for High Performance Homes out of Gettysburg, Penn. "We truly believe that better living space can cost less when the right products and building practices are employed. Our winning project home started with an Xi PlusTM panel system from Superior Walls by Advanced Concrete Systems. We rely on these products for a consistent, clean installation that enables us to get our ZERO Energy Ready Home status from the U.S. Department of Energy."
