The next evolution in housing

eBuilt® homes

 

Clayton eBuilt homes represent the intersection of attainability, sustainability and innovation.

Built to the US Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Home™ standards, eBuilt homes are so energy efficient, homeowners can reduce their annual energy bills by up to 50%1.

Renewable solar energy

Solar Panels Bean Station June 2024-001

eBuilt homes are constructed so that homeowners can add a renewable solar energy system after purchase for even more savings. When combined with solar panels, eBuilt homes transform into a “net zero” home, which theoretically can offset up to 100% of its annual energy use by generating the power it consumes2.

Ensuring home attainability

 

An affordable home price is just one part of homeownership costs. Surging energy rates can create financial hardships for homeowners and act as a “hidden mortgage,” where the cost of utilities – especially in an energy inefficient home – can be as much or more than the cost of the home itself.

eBuilt homes can help homeowners keep more of their money, simply because the home they live in is more energy efficient.

Protecting our environment

With residential homes generating 20% of US carbon emissions3, building energy-efficient homes that consume less energy is one way Clayton Home Building Group® is committed to Driving change by setting the standard for sustainability in home building.

What makes a home an eBuilt home?

As a national, single-family home builder, Clayton constructs both modern manufactured and site-built homes that are attainable and energy-efficient. See how we're committed to saving you money, no matter which Clayton home you make your own.

2 Net zero is based on electrical energy consumption using NREL® BEopt™ to estimate annual electrical energy consumption and NREL PVWatts Calculator to estimate the annual solar production on homes built with energy efficient features and assumes that the home is placed in a location that optimizes the solar features.
