Uponor Hydronic Solutions Provide Energy-Smart Infrastructure for Net-Zero Transcend Communities

by Alex Gross

Uponor joins Green Builder Media and prefab home manufacturer Dvele in a partnership to create Transcend Communities: net zero, all-electric, healthy, resilient, connected, solar-powered, and cost-effective homes in mixed use communities. Uponor has played a pivotal role in this process, providing an in-floor radiant system that will heat and cool both air and water.

The partnership will launch with a demonstration home located in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. The home also has a whole-home proactive IAQ system and radon detector to ensure healthy air, as well as water-conserving plumbing fixtures, leak detection, water monitoring systems, water filtration systems, and hot water recirculation systems.

This is Green Builder Medias 21st demonstration project, and most of them use radiant heating and cooling because of its efficiency. Plus, Transcend Communities are working from a baseline of net-zero homes and energy-smart infrastructure, the homes all need to feature products and systems that not only help in reducing operational greenhouse gas emissions, but also support decarbonization efforts. The system also provides superior comfort in the homes that maintains powerful performance and value over time.
