The Problem With “Home” Is How It’s Built.
Most homes today are stitched together from random parts and rushed decisions. Builders and homeowners alike are stuck in cycles of inefficiency, poor quality, and frustrating inconsistency. We’re here to change that.
Outdated Methods Can’t Deliver Innovation
If we want smarter, more efficient homes, we have to start building differently.
Better Thinking Builds Better Homes
High Performance Home challenges the status quo with purpose-driven systems and smarter standards.
There’s a Reason We Exist
If the old way worked, we wouldn’t need a movement—HPH is here to fix what’s broken.
What Makes a Home High Performance?
We take a systems-based approach—combining vetted components, verified installers, and ongoing education to help you build smarter from the start.
Education & Empowerment
From the STRe Academy for short-term rental owners to white papers, podcasts, and live Mastermind calls, we provide the tools to think and build smarter.
HPH Component Certification

“When we build with care, we build more than homes—we build meaning.” - BR
Welcome to the Rich Life Center—your quiet corner within the High Performance Home. This isn’t a showroom or a sales pitch; it’s a pause. A place that honors both the craftsman and the craft, where home doesn’t shout but speaks softly—through integrity, through well-joined corners, through light landing gently on honest materials. It’s where the hurried world slows down and the commitment to doing things right still holds weight. I’m Bill Ryan—builder, seeker, storyteller—and in this space, I’ll share reflections on craftsmanship, the soul of shelter, and what it means to build a rich life. Sometimes that will take the shape of essays, sketches, or voices from the field—other times, quiet moments worth sitting with.

Answer Your Burning Questions
A high-performance home is designed and built (or upgraded) to meet advanced standards in energy efficiency, durability, indoor air quality, comfort, and long-term value. It’s not just sustainable—it’s smarter, healthier, and built to last.
HPH Certification offers third-party verification that a home—or components within it—meets specific performance standards. As a Realtor, this gives you a unique value prop: you can confidently guide clients to homes that are proven to deliver better living experiences and long-term benefits.
No certification is required to join the HPH Realtor Network. However, we offer optional education and training to help you better understand high-performance features and how to communicate them effectively in listings and client conversations.
While green certifications focus on sustainability, HPH goes a step further by integrating real-world functionality, craftsmanship, and performance. Our model also includes certified trade professionals and product components—giving you and your clients a full ecosystem to work with.
Simply join the HPH Realtor Network through our site to gain access to our tools, education library, and upcoming events. From there, you’ll receive curated content to help you grow your expertise and better serve your clients.
High Performance Home was created to fix what’s broken in how we build. We’re here to replace the chaos with systems that actually work—certified components, smarter installs, and a growing network of people who believe better is possible.
