A net-zero home is designed to generate as much energy as it consumes, typically through high-efficiency systems and renewable energy like solar. People choose them to lower utility bills, reduce their carbon footprint, and enjoy a more comfortable, future-ready living space.
Net Zero homes improve on the minimum standards of the BC Building Code to increase efficiency and decrease consumption. The amount of energy generated vs the amount consumed takes into account all of the components within the home including the building envelope, the mechanical systems, the environment, and even occupant activities. If you're looking to achieve Net Zero on your project, we can help you get there.
Learn how a high-performance building envelope improves energy efficiency, eliminates drafts, reduces noise, and keeps your home consistently comfortable, all while lowering heating and cooling costs.
Explore how net zero homes use advanced mechanical systems, like heat pumps, ventilation, and energy monitors to boost comfort, improve air quality, and cut energy bills.
If you're an industry professional involved in Net Zero, whether it be a home builder, renovator, sales associate, or building official, CHBA offers in depth training programs to become Net Zero Certified.
