Sustainability

Palm Street Residence, a residential pilot project in Houston, is a test bed for the future of Mint Homes global building practice, focusing on constructing affordable energy-efficient homes. The project features a collection of six individual residences that emphasize both reasonably priced in-town luxury living with the highest standards of sustainability in their execution and everyday habitation.

These town homes are equipped with renewable energy systems such as solar panels to produce sustainable energy on-site and to add electricity back to the grid, making the building carbon zero over its lifetime.

With a focus on optimizing indoor comfort, these dwellings are built with high-quality insulation, ensuring consistent temperature control and superior indoor air quality to ensure a healthier living environment for residents.

Residents of net-zero energy houses can enjoy long-term cost savings due to reduced energy bills. Over time, the energy savings can offset the initial investment, resulting in lower overall living expenses.

Net-zero energy town homes significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional energy consumption, help mitigate climate change and promote environmental sustainability. Widespread adoption of net-zero town homes can contribute to sustainable community development, foster a sense of environmental responsibility, and set an example for future construction projects.
