To achieve efficient energy harmony, net zero design departs significantly from conventional construction practice. The most cost-effective steps toward a reduction in a home's energy consumption are taken during the design process. We partner with Builders and designers specializing in sustainability. They use time tested passive solar siting which allows the home to work with its on-site assets. Sunlight and solar heat, prevailing breezes, and the cool of the earth below a home can provide stable indoor temperatures with minimum mechanical means.
Home performance also includes a range of design variables such as building orientation, window and door type and placement, overhang depth, insulation type and values of the building elements, air tightness, the efficiency of heating, cooling, lighting and other equipment, as well as local climate. When you design a home it must be designed it for optimum solar gain, and take all of these variables into consideration.
Design is imperative, but how a home is constructed is critical. A home will only perform as well as it is built. Our Net zero homes providers build with significant energy-saving features and efficiencies. Energy consumption is lowered by using high-efficiency appliances, added insulation, high-efficiency windows, natural ventilation, and other energy saving techniques. High Performance Homes are constructed with the highest level of precision and detail, including R-40 walls and R-60 roof assembly. We are passionate about helping our clients live a better life. From the initial meeting through the final inspection and beyond occupancy. We are confident that you will enjoy your energy efficient High Performance Home for many years to come. Mother Earth will too!

You + Your HomeThe energy used in a building can vary greatly depending on the behavior of its occupants. The acceptance of what is considered comfortable varies widely from person to person. Every home and its occupant’s activities contribute to potentially dramatic differences in energy use, with some homes using more than twice the energy of others. Occupant behavior can vary from differences in setting and programming thermostats, varying levels of illumination and hot water, and the amount of miscellaneous electric devices or plug loads used.
