Upgrading an Eichler for sustainability doesn’t have to mean sacrificing its iconic mid-century modern soul. The Integrity Index helps homeowners identify retrofit strategies that boost energy performance, increase comfort, and enhance long-term value—while preserving the exposed-beam ceilings, glass walls, and architectural clarity Eichlers are known for. With careful planning and high-index upgrades like exterior roof insulation, heat-pump systems, slim aluminum glazing, and flush-mounted solar, owners can achieve a future-ready all-electric home that remains unmistakably Eichler.
