Prices for High-Tech, Energy-Efficient Home Start at $2.5M

Josh Anderson, owner of Element Building Co., another Las Vegas luxury home construction company, agreed that it’s possible to make energy-efficient homes that cost less. His company has made smaller, efficient homes for the 2016 National Association of Homebuilders trade show and to be auctioned off to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“It takes more time, and it definitely takes somebody really being into the detail of the construction as it’s happening,” Anderson said. “What we do is not difficult; it’s not something that is out of reach for your typical production home. It just requires more effort on the part of the builder.”

When building the home for the 2016 trade show, Anderson said the company wanted to show that energy efficiency is doable using easily accessible products.

“It is easy to do, and it can be done with products that you literally buy off the shelf at your local Lowe’s or Home Depot,” he said. “We’re able to demonstrate and show people this really can be for the masses.”
