A ribbon cutting will be held Aug. 12 at 10:30 a.m. for a Clayton i-house at Green Bridge Farm, a subdivision near Rincon, GA.
The home, which is a manufactured home and being offered as a real modular home, will be one of the first places where people can see, tour and buy Clayton Home’s new i-house.

The i-house is a net zero energy residence, meaning the combination of energy-efficient appliances, geothermal, solar panels and the innovative time-of-use rate from Georgia Power will result in a net zero energy cost over the year. The owner of the i-house will also charge his new Chevy Volt — one of only a few in the entire state— through the home’s solar panels.
The i-house does have a lot of neat features including roof that boasts both solar panels and a rainwater collection system for use in irrigation, bamboo floors, a tankless water heater and low-E energy-efficient windows.
To make it look more like a tree hugger’s wet dream, the home’s design includes furnishings from IKEA, optional flex room and rooftop patio.
