Parsons Village Housing

Parsons Village in Easthampton is Massachusetts first Net Zero Affordable Housing project. At 46,000 square feet, the houses consist of 38 units with studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a community center and small park. Energy-efficient and sustainable building practices were used in its construction; units use 53 to 60 percent less energy than a standard new home of the same size which required intensive focus on thermal envelope sealing techniques from initial structure to finish.
