Climate Change and Net Zero Homes: A Likely Pair
With the climate catastrophe looming and more and more people trying to become greener as they reduce their carbon footprint, talk of net zero homes seems to be on the rise. We should point out here that by definition, net zero homes are homes that create as much energy as they consume, for a net energy consumption of zero or less.
This phenomenon is currently made possible through advances in solar power, which allows for people to build solar panel homes that absorb their energy directly from the sun. Combine this with energy-efficient construction, energy-efficient practices, and a little bit of luck, and you wind up with a net zero home. So is it worth the investment? Read on to find out.
