BA-PIRC Partnership with
Trunnell Construction
Gainesville, FL

Schackow Development (and formerly Trunnel Construction) are developing a Zero Energy Homes community in Gainesville, FL called Forest Creek Zero Energy Homes Community. BA-PIRC assisted with the development of detailed specifications, evaluation of systems and simulation of various program elements for two near zero energy homes (NZEH) prototypes whose construction began in June 2007. These two prototype homes (NZEH#1 and NZEH#2) were completed in 2008 with extensive monitoring equipment installed. While Trunnel Construction constructed both of these homes, they are no longer active in this community.
