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.
