One of PEP Solar’s Green Realtor says:
“In a nutshell, a net zero building is the mac-daddy of green design and sustainable living. All kidding aside, the zero net energy building is a building that is completely self-sustainable in terms of energy use. This building is producing the same or more energy than it consumes and it is producing zero carbon emissions. People living in a net zero home or working in a net zero building are not producing a carbon footprint!
The building can be off-the grid, meaning it is not drawing any power from the electric companies and it is not connected to the power lines. Buildings can produce their own ‘green energy’ through solar, wind, or micro-hydro. Stay tuned for more on green energy as I gear up for March’s Solar Madness Month.
Real life example: Habitat for Humanity recently completed the Legacy Project, an affordable zero net home in Phoenix.

Really fascinating article. Got me realise I was completely misguided about this content. I suppose one learns something radical daily. Mrs Right found her lesson! Elegant illustrative blog by the way. Appreciate your blog -Willrett Nakisha
Global warming is a serious topic that simply ignoring is NOT going to settle! Thanks for the clarifying blog post. Thanks for spreading the content. This blog is sure enough bookmarked! If you need more information on global warming, or the carbon tax, take a look at Carbonizm it genuinely helped me understand it more.
