Powerful Proof of Performance
To get real-world energy efficiency data and as a proof of concept for what ultimately became the Fractalize™ high-performance prefabrication system, we acted as architects, developers, and builders in the creation of Climate House Model C. The results were extensively measured and, even during the winter extremes, proved the nearly 10X improvement in peak heating load performance. This all-electric home inspired the core concepts for the Fractalize™ system and Ultimate Living System™.
