This is a great overview of Net Zero building from Bruce Murdoch, K-Country Homes in Cranbook, BC, in the Kootenay Mountains. He has been a home builder for 30 years and now builds only low emission buildings. His blog is https://mindmuser.wordpress.com/2024/11/29/4-surprising-benefits-of-net-zero-homes/
He covers 4 reasons why choosing a low-emission home is better.
When we think of Net Zero Homes or Net Zero Ready Homes, words like “energy efficient,” “sustainable,” and “environmentally conscious” come to mind. At their core, Net Zero Homes are at the forefront of energy performance. They’re designed and constructed to maximize the home’s energy efficiency, and when a renewable energy system is installed, Net Zero Homes produce as much energy as they consume. And while it’s true that the obvious differentiator of a Net Zero Home is superior home energy performance, there are more perks to them than you might be aware of. In this blog post, we break down four lesser-known benefits that Net Zero Homes have over homes built just to meet building code minimums.
1. Enhanced Comfort and Indoor Air Quality for Healthier Living
2. Durability
3. Protection From Energy Price Fluctuations
4. Lasting Appeal
He goes into these for reasons on his site. Read more ONLINE.
