Issaquah partnership will lead to net zero multifamily project

By KATIE ZEMTSEFF
Journal Staff Reporter

Custom net zero energy houses are beginning to pop up around the region, but the trend hasn't caught on yet in multifamily projects. The city of Issaquah and a local developer are looking to change that by creating a regional model for net zero townhouses.

A net zero project does not use any more energy than it generates over a period of time. Noland Homes and the city of Issaquah are developing a 10-unit demonstration project that will generate as much energy as it uses over a year. Units will range from 500 to 1,750 square feet. David Vandervort Architects is the designer and Stantec is the energy consultant.
