1. To promote awareness of how each person’s actions impact their environment

  2. To broaden the general public’s perspective on what they can expect from a high-performing home

  3. To prove that high-performing homes create tangible and intangible value for property owners

Renewable Homes’ approach to educate the general public’s perspective on high performing homes will be to purchase existing dilapidated homes and upgrade them to Passive House standards. During the construction process, we will hold regular open house days and provide free tours that are educational in nature. Showcasing the building science behind a high performing home.

Renewable Homes is a brand new California corporation developed by Cheryl Lima who has worked in residential design and construction management for the past 17 years. Upon embarking on the design of her own personal residence she discovered Passive House building principles and quickly realized that everyone deserves a healthy, energy-efficient home that drastically reduces planet damaging construction practices.

We are actively seeking real estate owners and investors who are interested in partnering in our mission to upgrade a vast amount of dilapidated homes in the San Francisco Bay Area to Passive House standards.

Our company operates with full transparency and is offering to take a minimal profit on each house “PHlip”
