So our first Net-Zero ready home is wrapping up on-schedule and on-budget. It's been a lot of fun applying modern green building techniques. We hope to raise awareness about these cost-effective and affordable homes that require very little energy to run. This particular house would cost the occupants $0 in heat, hot water, and electricity with only a 6Kw solar package. We've been keeping it at 70 degrees for the past few weeks (even when the windows were only taped plastic) with a very small, single room, electric heater. We'll be sure to post a complete entry about our process and our goals with these homes when the project is complete. For now, check out the short video below documenting the construction of the home (TIP: You may need to download it first for a smooth viewing). Thanks for visiting!
