Jon Edwards of&nbsp; Gateway AAC said that concrete panels offer many "green" benefits, including energy efficiency, vapor permeability resulting in better air quality, low VOC emissions, and low&nbsp; long term maintenance.</p>
<p>The homes in the development will have a number of energy-efficient features including white reflective roofs, energy-efficient lighting, 95% energy-efficient hot water tank, and a geo-thermal heating and cooling system. They will pre-wired for solar panels, which are available as an add-on option. The parapet wall of&nbsp; the home is designed to disguise the solar panels.</p>
