Casa Aguila will arguably be the most advanced home ever built in San Diego County, looking to achieve many firsts for our region. It will be San Diego's first Certified Passive House, seek the County's first onsite wastewater treatment permit, seek the County's first permit to utilize all collected rainwater for all indoor water use, and strive for eventual grid-disconnection through utilization of battery power, Solar PV, and a 45-foot wind turbine (the blades alone are 17 feet tall!).

The project is located in Ramona, CA and is named for the Golden Eagles which frequently fly over the property.

Thanks for coming out!

Casa Aguila was on the USGBC's Green Homes Tour this past Sunday, and we had a great turnout! It was nice to meet so many knowledgeable, eco-minded San Diegans. Thanks to everyone who was able to stop by our property or other sites on the tour!
