​Free Sustainable Home Design Plans

In 2016, the City of Phoenix Mayor and Council adopted ambitious 2050 Sustainability Goals, its roadmap to becoming a carbon-neutral, zero-waste city. As a step towards achieving these goals, the City of Phoenix wishes to encourage the construction of ultra-low energy use homes.

To create the designs needed in the marketplace, the City of Phoenix, in Partnership with the American Institute of Architects, Arizona (AIA) held a Sustainable Home Design Competition for a “near net-zero energy” single family home that has the best potential for wide-spread adoption in the region (climate zone 2). Now, users can download the winning construction plans for free!

Note: An updated version of the plans was posted in November 2019.
