| Abstract
|
Net Zero Energy Homes integrate high-performance, energy efficient passive solar design and commercially available on-site renewable energy systems such as solar water heating, electricity and ground-source heat.
These homes are designed to produce as much energy annually as they consume. Connected to the electricity grid, they draw power only as needed – and can feed excess power back into the system.
