Sean and Tracey Porter are set to move into West Virginia's first Phius design-certified passive house in Shepherdstown, a sustainable home aiming for net-zero energy consumption. Designed by architect Richard Pedranti, this home reflects the couple's German heritage and commitment to high-quality construction. Emphasizing energy efficiency and comfort, the Porters chose Shepherdstown for its walkable community, aligning with their values fostered through years of vacations in Germany. The Shepherdstown Chronicle highlights how this project exemplifies innovative building practices in the local area.
