Better Built
“Ridiculously Good” Energy Efficiency
Beacon is the first, and so far, only U.S. Department of Energy certified “Zero Energy Ready Home” production builder in Oklahoma.
What is a Zero Energy Ready Home?
A DOE Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) isn’t just a better-built home—it’s a high-performance home designed to give you lower utility costs, healthier air, and long-term value. It’s so energy efficient that a renewable energy system could offset most—or all—of its annual energy use.
Every home is independently verified by a third-party professional to ensure it meets or exceeds strict U.S. Department of Energy standards.

Built-In Efficiency
We design and build homes that work smarter—not harder. From insulation to HVAC to lighting, every part of your ZERH is optimized for performance.
What makes it energy efficient?
- High-performance insulation & windows to reduce heating and cooling loss
- Efficient HVAC systems that use less energy and improve comfort
- Advanced lighting and Energy Star appliances that save electricity without sacrificing performance
- Solar-ready design which means your home is set up for the installation of a solar inverter and the future installation of solar panels
Healthier Home
Every Beacon home is built for maximum indoor air quality and meets the EPA’s Indoor airPLUS requirements—meaning you and your family will breathe cleaner air every day.
Indoor air quality benefits:
- Comprehensive air filtration systems that filters all the air in your home 3x a day
- Moisture control and mold prevention
- Materials and finishes with low or no VOCs (volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can off-gas)
Durability and Lasting Value
With lower energy bills, reduced maintenance, and potential tax credits, Zero Energy Ready Homes offer long-term savings that make sense—both financially and environmentally.
Why homeowners love ZERH:
- Up to 50% less energy use than typical new homes
- Higher resale value due to energy and health features
- Reduced carbon footprint and environmental impact

It’s no longer just about Energy Star, energy savings and HERS (Home Energy Rating System) scores. Today, it’s also about the health of your family, proactively preparing for the future, and doing things right for the planet. The fact is that builder tax credit incentives still won’t come close to covering the costs of these components but what these components accomplish (energy efficiency, indoor air quality and solar readiness) align perfectly with Beacon’s mission of building homes right.
