The purpose of the New American Home is to showcase the latest and greatest in home building technology, and the 2016 offering located in Henderson, Nev., does exactly that.

With four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, the 5,280-square-foot house showcases how a home can be built with comfort, style, and cutting-edge technology in mind, while also being impressively energy efficient.

This New American Home exceeds net zero and incorporates energy recovery ventilators, a MERV-13 system, HVAC controls, an irrigation system, and water-smart landscaping into its design, offering a slew of useful takeaways for builders everywhere.
