Net-Zero 101 is our special guide to all the secret ingredients that make a net-zero home energy self-sufficient, super comfortable, and the best home money can buy. We visit Heather and Kevin Brosinsky a year after they built their net-zero energy retirement dream home, then talk to builder Dave Butterwick about the five essential elements of this cold-climate net-zero home that generates all of its own energy for electricity and heating. We produced this story for The Earth and I'm based in Washington DC. This is the video version of this story.
Covers the five elements of net zero: 1. Airtightness; 2. Insulation; 3. Windows and doors; 4. Mechanical and appliance energy efficiency; and 5. Renewable energy.
