Welcome to the online press kit for Dvele

Traditional home-building methods release millions of tons of carbon dioxide and other harmful chemicals in the atmosphere. It’s estimated that 42% of U.S. energy-related emissions come from our homes and the machines we use every day. Dvele evolves home production.

Dvele is a groundbreaking company that is revolutionizing sustainable housing. By combining cutting-edge technology, innovative design, and a commitment to environmental stewardship, Dvele provides sustainable and high-performance homes for the future.

Dvele’s Self-Powered™ homes are among the most advanced products available on the market today. All Dvele homes are completely self-powered by solar energy, eliminating dependency on fossil fuels and the power grid. They produce clean energy that occupants can immediately use, store in the home’s batteries, or sell back to the electric company’s grid, making each home net-positive. Dvele homes exceed the Passive House airtight standard (unlike a typical new home built today, with 12x the energy loss of 6 ACH, compared to Dvele’s 0.5 ACH). Airflow and water are purified. An in-house monitoring system called Dvele IQ™ keeps occupants updated 24/7 on the home's performance. It’s Learning, not Spying™.

Dvele is a leader in the field of sustainable housing, reimagining the way we live and build. With a deep understanding of the importance of environmental sustainability, Dvele integrates energy-efficient systems, smart home technology, and environmentally friendly materials to create homes that are beautiful and health-improving (backed by science), with a minimized ecological footprint that saves hundreds of thousands of pounds of carbon during the production phase and keeps other harmful chemicals from entering the atmosphere before anyone occupies the home.

“The way we have evolved the home and how they are produced is having a radical, positive effect on our planet and economy.” – Kurt Goodjohn, Co-founder and CEO, Dvele.com

Key Features and Advantages of Dvele Homes

Automation & Scalability: By turning the home into a product, Dvele has created a system to repeatedly produce homes at a scale never seen before. Each home incorporates standardized designs and replicable elements for robots – and highly-skilled tradespeople – to assemble with a high degree of precision. Dvele can now produce an entire home in less than 12 weeks (compared to traditional homes that can take 18 months to construct) with the ultimate goal of producing a home in a day. Running at full capacity, a foundry (factory) produces 2000 homes per year.

Energy Efficiency: Dvele homes are designed to be ultra energy-efficient, utilizing advanced insulation methods, air- and water-tight liquid membrane, efficient HVAC systems, and intelligent-home technology. This ensures that homeowners enjoy optimal comfort while drastically reducing energy consumption and lowering utility costs. Dvele’s homes are proven to be 84% more energy efficient than traditional homes.

Net-Zero & Positive Energy: Dvele is committed to achieving net-zero and net-positive energy status for all its homes from day one of occupancy. Through the integration of solar panels, energy storage systems, and intelligent energy management, Dvele homes can generate more energy than they consume, significantly reducing reliance on the grid and promoting a sustainable lifestyle. The surplus clean energy produced is immediately available for neighbors and the local grid.

Healthy Indoor Environment: Dvele prioritizes the health and well-being of its occupants. By using non-toxic and eco-friendly materials, incorporating advanced ventilation systems and several water and air filtration systems, and monitoring indoor air quality and humidity, Dvele homes provide a healthy and comfortable living environment — one that improves the health of the occupants.

Intelligent Design: Dvele homes feature intelligent, timeless design elements (known as biophilic design) that maximize space, natural light, airflow, and a connection to the outdoors. By employing modern architectural principles and utilizing state-of-the-art technologies, Dvele creates homes that are aesthetically pleasing, functional, and optimized for sustainable living.

Smart Home Integration: Dvele homes are equipped with advanced smart home technologies, including over 200 sensors embedded throughout the walls, floors, and ceilings that allow occupants to control and monitor various aspects of their homes remotely. From energy management and security systems to lighting and climate control, Dvele puts the power of smart living at your fingertips without the hassle of combining multiple smart systems. Sensors proactively monitor the home’s health to catch problems before they arise, giving occupants ample time to prepare for home maintenance.

Freedom From Power Outages: In the event of a grid power outage, electrical circuits stay on to power critical functions that support a level of normalcy. The home's lungs, the ERV (energy recovery ventilator), will continue circulating fresh air. The fridge will indefinitely stay on to preserve food, while cooking can be done using the induction stove or the oven.

Environmental Impact

Dvele recognizes the urgent need to address climate change and reduce carbon emissions. By focusing on healthy housing produced in controlled foundries, Dvele contributes to global efforts to combat climate change and create a more sustainable future. With each Dvele home produced, millions of pounds of carbon emissions are avoided over the life of the home, promoting renewable energy adoption and inspiring others to embrace sustainable living practices — without compromising their standard of living.

Community Engagement

Dvele believes in the power of community and collaboration. The company actively engages with local communities, government agencies, and environmental organizations to promote sustainable development practices and contribute to the well-being of the neighborhoods where Dvele homes are built. Dvele also works closely with architects, builders, and other industry stakeholders to advance sustainable housing solutions on a larger scale. They believe the entire home construction industry needs to adhere to a new, global standard of producing homes — one that puts the health of the occupants and the environment first.

Transforming the Housing Industry

Dvele is transforming the housing industry by pioneering sustainable, high-performance homes that prioritize energy efficiency, healthy living, and intelligent design. By combining state-of-the-art technology with environmental consciousness, Dvele is leading the way toward a cleaner and more sustainable future — one that lets average, hard-working Americans afford a home without compromising their health or quality of living.

Economic Transformation

Significant amounts of time, energy, and money are wasted repairing traditionally built homes. In contrast, Dvele uses cutting-edge materials and building science to create a home that will last 100 years, minimum. All of the saved money and time can be put towards other advancements in the economy, while giving homeowners the ability to pass down quality homes to their family, generating significant wealth for people that have struggled to do so.
Combined with Dvele’s Self-Powered™ technology, homeowners can increase their monthly income, keeping more money local, while also powering the local grid. That saves even more money from having to repair outdated electrical grids carrying energy across hundreds or thousands of miles.

Dvele is also leading the way to employ thousands of highly-skilled tradespeople with advanced manufacturing foundries, creating more economic certainty in a country that’s showing no signs of slowing down.
