LG outfits the 2024 'New American Home" (TNAH®) with advanced HVAC solutions, home appliances and consumer electronics for Official IBS 2024 Net-Zero Showcase Home.

The TNAH features advanced heat pump HVAC systems and controls from LG Air Conditioning Technologies USA that complement the home's high-end design while driving energy efficiency throughout all seasons.

Powering the laundry room with the ultimate clean is the LG Styler Steam Closet that refreshes, deodorizes and sanitizes hard-to-wash items and fabrics, combined with he LG Mega Capacity Smart Front Load Washer and Dryer that delivers a complete clean in under 30 minutes.

Built and designed by Sun West Custom Homes, TNAH is a desert-contemporary masterpiece located in the upscale luxury home community of Ascaya in Henderson, Nev. This incredible 7,722-square-foot home, nestled in the foothills of this desert retreat, not only boasts scenic views of the Las Vegas Skyline, but also incorporates the resort lifestyle at home. The unique design of the home was inspired by the beautiful landscape and abundant light. By incorporating a variety of color schemes, Sun West Custom Homes captured the relaxed ambiance of a "Tulum Resort" in the desert.

This show home is 41st edition of TNAH and another example of how this program continues to be on the cutting-edge of innovation, technology and energy efficiency. The Sun West design team worked with their building partners to produce a home that incorporates energy and material-saving strategies from design through construction, showcasing how any home can be transformed into a high-performance, high-tech space when integrating the latest building techniques and product innovations to reduce energy consumption, increase efficiency and enhance daily life.

LG smart life solutions featured in TNAH 2024 – from heat-pump-enabled laundry and home comfort systems to efficient TVs, induction cooking and ENERGY STAR^® certified appliances – reflect LG's commitment to environmental sustainability and underscore the company's support for builders' increasing focus on high-performance homes.

According to Two Trails Inc. COO Drew Smith, who served as energy consultant and National Green Building Standard Master Verifier for TNAH 2024, "This year's home is one of the most efficient in IBS show home program history and boasts an impressive negative 45 (-45) rating on the HERS (Home Energy Rating Score) Index, the industry standard by which a home's energy efficiency is measured; by point of comparison, a home built to code scores a HERS Index rating of 100, while a net zero energy home scores zero – making this year's project incredibly efficient."

TNAH 2024 is designed to exceed the requirements for certification to the Emerald level of the National Green Building Standard™. The home has also been awarded the EPA ENERGY STAR® for Homes as well as the EPA's Indoor airPLUS certifications. "This efficiency level is due to in part to the incorporation of LG's highly efficient portfolio of advanced VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) HVAC technology and ENERGY STAR appliances," Smith said.
