A Zero Energy Home (ZEH) combines state-of-the-art, energy-efficient construction and appliances with commercially available renewable energy systems, such as solar water heating and solar electricity. The combination results in a home that produces its own energy as much or more than it needs. Even though the home might be connected to a utility grid, it has net zero energy consumption from the utility provider.
Zero Energy Homes optimize and include the following design features:
- Climate-specific design
- Energy-efficient construction
- Energy-efficient appliances and lighting
- Blown-in insulation wall/ceiling system
- Vinyl windows with High Performance Low-E glass to keep warm air in during the winter, hot solar rays out during the summer
- Economical high-efficiency Heating and Air Conditioning, with fresh air ventilation system, and pressure balancing
- Air seal polycel caulking around windows, doors, joints and sill plates
- Energy-saving tankless water heating system
- Insulated and mastic sealed a/c ducts
- Third party testing for efficiency validation
