Leading housing developers spearhead New Hampshire’s first net zero housing development in partnership with Eversource
Aug 5, 2025
Elkridge Construction LLC along with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty and utility partner are demonstrating the benefits of energy efficiency and sustainability planning for residents
Situated on 13 lots, the development will include 26 three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath units, each approximately 1,960+ square feet. To achieve net zero, each housing unit is designed to the Passive House Standard, certified to the United States’ Department of Energy (DOE) Net Zero Energy Ready Home Program and includes on-site solar power generation, electric vehicle charger circuit and optional battery. Furthering the commitment to net zero energy usage, each unit is equipped with a low-emission heat pump for heating, energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting that consumes 75 percent less energy than incandescent lighting, and WaterSense fixtures that use 20 percent less water.

“This first-of-its-kind project proves is also a common-sense approach to building high performance, energy-efficient homes at scale,” said Tilak Subrahmanian, Eversource Vice President of Energy Efficiency and Electric Mobility. “Barrett Hill is an example of how tight, energy-efficient construction can deliver real value to homeowners by reducing their energy usage, and the programs and incentives offered by Eversource and the other NHSaves® utility partners help to make this a practical path forward for builders as well. We’re proud to help bring New Hampshire’s first net zero development to life.”
