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!⠀
