Meet the Home of the Future: Zero Energy Ready Homes

How do you transform your existing home into a Zero Energy Home?

But how to turn an existing house into an energy-neutral home?

Is it possible to convert an existing traditional home to a zero-energy one?

Energy consumption and production per year of a zero-energy house

House of zero energy — (House, that has architecturally the same standard as the passive house, but engineering is equipped in such a way as to consume only the energy that the house produces itself) &mdash 0 kWh / m² per year.

Bernard Zahren's vision for a zero energy home became reality when he renovated and expanded his Avon home, originally built in 1961, to 5,327 square feet.

This exceptional prize, which was given for the first time, was awarded to Maisons Alouette Homes out of 1,250 eligible businesses, for their EcoTerraTM project - a net zero energy home.

The ventilation of the zero-energy house is provided by a type D system, also known as a ventilation system with double stream (mechanical inlet and outlet with heat recuperation).

Detailed sustainability analyses and the efficient use of building materials ensure that the Oodi Central Library is practically a zero-energy building.

This does not necessarily mean that we must necessarily set the ultimate goal of a “zero energy” building, but only the smart networking of all building functions in a decentralized control system can provide unexpectedly efficient savings.

Even though the demand for heating (and cooling) is very low, a zero-energy house is equipped with a heat pump, underfloor heating via concrete core activation and solar panels.
