   The first Optimum Performance Home® will be built at The Sea Ranch, located in Sonoma County along the Northern California coastline of the Pacific Ocean. The showcase project is exemplary of the “Ultimate Home Design®” concept, which integrates universal design with the best sustainable building practices while exerting minimal impact on the environment. A building science systems approach to home building is the cornerstone of the project with emphasis on the relationships  between the home’s components and its environment. Also paramount is good stewardship––proper regard and respect for the rights of neighboring homeowners and the surrounding natural environment. The goal is to optimize occupant health, comfort, and safety; maximize energy efficiency and structural durability; and minimize environmental impact. As well, the goal is to provide a nurturing home environment to support independent living and sustainable lifestyles.
