Phase 4 marks a turning point for The New American Home (TNAH), shifting the build from structure to performance. As one of the official show homes for IBS 2026, this phase focuses on integrating the systems that define how the home functions—mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and advanced energy-efficiency strategies—transforming framing into a high-performance residence.
This stage emphasizes collaboration and precision, with extensive coordination among trades to ensure systems work together seamlessly. The result is a home that balances cutting-edge innovation with real-world livability, improving comfort, indoor air quality, sustainability, and long-term operating costs.
Phase 4 also serves as a preview of what IBS attendees will experience: a living case study in modern building science, innovative product integration, and scalable solutions builders can apply across projects. With systems now in place, TNAH moves closer to its final form—revealing the performance-driven thinking beneath the finished surfaces that will define the future of residential construction.
