A Net Zero Home:
Produces as much energy as it consumes and is up to 80% more energy efficient than a home built to conventional standards.
Can drop your utility bills to an all-time low, and keep them in check all year round.
Protects you from future increases in energy prices. Over the course of years, that might prove to be a great benefit.
Is more durable – with high performance, built to higher standards with warm windows and better-insulated walls and roof as compared to conventional new homes.
Delivers exceptional comfort all year round. Advanced construction methods and materials along with superior heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment mean even temperatures throughout the house.
Promises exceptional indoor air quality for healthier living. A built-in filtered fresh air system reduces allergens and asthma triggers, such as dust, pollen, and outdoor air pollution.
Is quieter because it is tightly built and well insulated. Outside noise such as traffic, lawnmowers, and barking dogs are virtually silenced guaranteeing peaceful and comfortable living.
