Identify energy demands of each home for space heating, water, cooling, air leakage, wall and attic insulation, lighting & appliances.
A photovoltaic system is installed to offset 100% of the modeled electrical demand of the house. Systems are approved and registered with Nevada Energy's net metering program.

4DSustainable Living
Our Mission
We implement sustainable energy improvements on existing structures to provide a home with reduced monthly operating costs to demographics where these savings will be of most benefit. With a 100% energy cost reduction, 4D homes eliminate the uncertainty of ever-rising energy costs for tenants and homebuyers.
