What are Zero Energy Homes?
Zero Energy Homes are tied to the grid, but are so well insulated, airtight and energy efficient that they can produce more renewable energy than they consume on a yearly basis. This will leave the homeowner with a net-zero energy bill and carbon-free home. Great for the environment and your bank account! A zero energy home combines design, energy efficient building systems and techniques and solar panels that together produce a better home. Zero energy homes are comfortable, healthy and sustainable homes that can also be affordable.
Health and Comfort
Zero energy homes are built to a higher standard. You will breathe clean air, live with the most comfortable temperatures and have a quiet indoor environment. Using clean and green building materials and insulation products, like Airkrete injection foam, will keep your home free from allergens and toxins.
Save Money
Zero energy homes can save you money from move in day. You won't have to worry about the increase in energy costs as your home can produce as much energy as it consumes (if not more). You won't have to worry about the price of keeping lights on or warming your home.
Environmentally Friendly
Buildings alone are responsible for 40% of total energy used in America. Zero energy homes are at the forefront of combating climate change and reducing our overall carbon footprint. Zero energy homes are not reliant on fossil fuels and will provide alternative ways that a home can use and produce energy.
What if I already own my own home?
Existing homeowners can have zero energy homes too! E3 can help you plan and implement any changes that would make your home zero energy - more information can be found here. This video is a great explanation of how an existing home can become zero energy.
