EI Communities
August Homes is developing the first Energy Independent (EI) community in the DC area, and one of the first EI communities in the nation.
Energy independence is no longer a distant dream. It is achievable, practical and increasingly becoming a necessity.
An EI (Energy Independent) community is resilient, even during the harshest of storms. The community can power itself. It uses power from the grid, but does not rely on it.
August EI
An Energy Independent (EI) home focuses on high-performance, enhanced indoor air quality, quality materials, and design for the 21st century family.
