The 10-year challenge has been all the rage on social media, where people compare themselves now to who they were a decade ago. If we were to look at how energy efficient practices have evolved in the homebuilding industry these past 10 years, today’s standards would be the clear winner.
The home building industry is continually looking to improve its practices, and the shift towards net zero and net zero ready is one way it’s doing just that.
Simply put, a home built with energy efficient practices performs better. It’s more comfortable to live in, it’s better for your health and the environment, and it saves you money on your energy bills.
There are different ways of achieving energy efficiency in a house. The passive house and net zero approaches are two of the best, as a passive house uses very little energy and a net zero house produces as much energy as it consumes.
While there are different ways to build an energy efficient home, one of the methods rising in popularity is called “net zero energy".
