Built in 1901, the home is considered the oldest home in America to achieve net zero energy. The Atlantic Magazine called the work "sustainable perfection". The home is featured on the cover of the book ''No Regrets Remodeling: How to Create a Comfortable, Healthy Home That Saves Energy''. In 2013, Grocoff and his company THRIVE partnered with BLUElab from the University of Michigan College of Engineering and offered his home as community testbed for net zero water and restoration of ecological water flow to pre-development conditions. The project is the first Cold Climate home certified as a Net Zero Energy Building under the Living Building Challenge, which is based on actual rather than anticipated performance. Grocoff calls the home "Mission Zero House" in honor of Ray Anderson, founder and chairman of Interface, Inc., who, in 1994, pledged that his multi-national carpet company would meet a "Mission Zero" goal to eliminate any negative impact it may have on the environment by the year 2020. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matthew Grocoff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
