In 2009, Farr Associates completed the first home in the Midwest designed to be Net Zero Energy and LEED Platinum. The design includes a 10KW photovoltaic array that generates all the electrical needs, solar thermal evacu¬ated tube panels for domestic hot water and radiant floor heating; and a geothermal heat pump that provides heating and cooling. Rainwater is harvested for 100% of all irrigation and the Yannell Residence is the single-family first grey water system permitted in Chicago.
