River Vine is the most advanced high performance prefabricated building ever built, blending state-of-the-art sustainability, high-end amenities and cutting-edge technology in a custom design. Here are the top ten things that set the home apart.
1. River Vine is a Zero Net Energy Building, producing as much energy onsite as it consumes over the course of a year.
2. River Vine is designed to achieve LEED® Platinum certification, the highest level of green building certification, recognizing best-in-class building strategies, practices and performance.
3. River Vine’s Integrated Renewable Energy Systems combine solar energy from the sun and geothermal energy from the earth to achieve greater energy efficiency than each system could achieve independently.
4. River Vine’s natural ventilation system circulates fresh, filtered air throughout the residence, continuously monitoring it with automated carbon monoxide and humidity sensors to maintain superior indoor air quality.
5. River Vine reduces energy consumption with a daylighting system that blends floor-to-ceiling high reflectivity low-E view windows, strategically-located skylights and smart LED lighting with an automated lighting controls system.
6. River Vine uses a Tesla Powerwall home battery system to provide backup power and ensure that the home meets 100% of its domestic electricity needs at night and on cloudy or rainy days when the solar system isn’t producing.
7. River Vine uses recyclable and responsibly sourced materials, with a strong focus on cutting-edge sustainable construction methods throughout the project not typically found in residential construction.
8. River Vine’s advanced Energy Management System allows occupants to monitor, control and adjust energy production and consumption to optimize performance.
9. River Vine is a fully automated smart home, using the latest technology to connect all systems, including an advanced Energy Management System, lighting, electrical devices and motorized window treatments for control from a single touchpoint.
10. River Vine is the nation’s first geothermal vineyard, harnessing the earth’s energy through underground pipes looped beneath the vines. The system takes advantage of the cool irrigated earth during the summer months.
