Hosted By

The NEOhaus Institute



 

The NEOhaus Institute is a 501-3c non-profit based in Akron, Ohio focused on the development of cutting-edge, affordable and practical green building principles that stimulates economic development in the urban core. It is bringing an ecovillage to Akron. 

Education. Consumer education about ecoliving, green building and urban farming sustainability practices. 

Building. NEOhaus combines the best of modern building science--the Passive House technologies--with highly scrutinized sustainable building materials and techniques.

If you are looking for energy-efficient and greenbuilt custom home and xeriscape and raingarden landscape designs, information on sustainable residential developments and office environments, existing NEOhaus homes and models for sale, and how to get the word out on your sustainability products, services or efforts.

Community. NEOhaus recognizes that green building projects must work in tandem with the needs and wants of the residential community where it's situated.  Its success depends upon educating and raising awareness of all involved in the homebuilding process, including homebuyers and renters, realtors, financial institutions, community organizations, municipalities, business community and landscapers.
