Unmatched Sustainable Real Estate Developer is the Future of Chicago Homes

    CHICAGO, IL, January 22, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Since 2011, sustainable real estate developer Panoptic Group has been at the forefront of innovation, developing the most energy-efficient urban homes with the most progressive technology in the country. By combining the latest in energy-saving technologies with the incorporation of detailed modern design, Panoptic Group is creating the ultimate dream house scenario throughout Chicago.

"Our philosophy is to build the safest, healthiest and most efficient urban homes in the country," said Roman Popovych of Panoptic Group. "We strive to improve the performance of a home through tactics like bacterial filtration in the air and solar arrays for energy usage. These are just as important as functionality and design. You cannot put a price on the value of a healthy home."

Panoptic Group's properties are on average 70 percent more energy-efficient than a standard new home, due to the incorporation of solar power energy, smart home automation and custom engineered HVAC systems to achieve near NetZero Homes, also known as Zero Utility Homes. The home sustainability levels are determined by the U.S. Green Building Council's certification program, called Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED). All of Panoptic Group's homes reach at least LEED Silver certification, indicating that the home consumes less energy, costs less to maintain and have the smallest carbon footprint possible.

Panoptic Group is currently developing two LEED Platinum pending homes in Chicago, meaning they will satisfy the highest level of LEED certification. There are only four LEED Platinum homes currently in Chicago.

Beyond the environmental factor, Panoptic Group's homes feature the most cutting-edge technology, increasing residents' safety, mobility and productivity on a daily basis. Advanced security options include a surveillance camera system, remote locking system and occupancy monitoring system, where residents can monitor their family, pets and cars as they come and go.

Panoptic Group homes have a sealed-shell structure, making them quieter and better insulated than the average home. Using Smart Home Automation, a system that organizes your homes' controls conveniently on your mobile device, residents can remotely control/monitor their locks, speakers, lights and HVAC.

Additionally, Panoptic Group is one of only real estate developers in the country to offer virtual models of their homes using Oculus Rift, an advanced virtual headset that allows perspective buyers to tour the home with extreme detail.
