Imagine Never Having To Pay A Utility Bill Ever Again

 🙌 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗯𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘁 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲.

⠀

As an increasingly popular trend in sustainable housing, a Net Zero home produces its own energy on-site, primarily through a renewable energy source (typically solar or wind power), and aims to produce as much energy as the home consumes. ⠀

⠀

Energy efficiency is the name of the game, so when building a Net Zero home, it's important to pay attention to the key areas that are the usual suspects for energy loss:⠀

🔹 Doors⠀

🔹 Windows⠀

🔹 Attic⠀

🔹 Foundation⠀

🔹 Exterior walls⠀

⠀

Each of these spaces needs to use materials that provide low air leakage and a high R-value, which measures the material’s ability to resist heat flow. This ensures the home uses every bit of energy to its maximum potential. While building a Net Zero home does require a larger investment up front, it saves you money in the long run - and is a great way to live off-grid!⠀

⠀
