Net Zero homes are residences that produce as much energy as they consume. As Boston’s premier home builder, with extensive experience in sustainable construction we are capable of supporting new home construction projects, as well as luxury home restoration projects aimed at achieving a net zero footprint. Get in touch for a free consultation.
A net zero energy home generates is building with essentially no carbon footprint. On average it generates as much energy as it consumes. This is achieved via a mix of energy conserving construction techniques and the use of technology to provide energy.
Installing triple glazing windows, super-insulated walls and airtight environments help minimize consumption. While these construction techniques are also used in passive house design, zero energy homes go one step further and also include installations that generate electricity: Solar PV systems installed on roofs, for instance, are designed to offset your home’s annual energy consumption and thus to achieve a net-zero energy balance.
Net Zero homes are particularly beneficial in the Greater Boston and New England area. This is for two reasons: Extreme weather conditions with cold winters and hot, humid summers create ideal conditions for maximum energy savings and ample solar potential. On average Boston receives around 7 hours of sunlight per day (Source). In addition to Massachusetts' progressive incentives, high electricity costs further accelerate your return on investment. Opting for net zero housing is thus an environmentally and financially sound decision.
Building in the Greater Boston area requires specialized expertise. Besides extensive experience in sustainable construction, navigating stringent local building codes is equally important. Our experience with solar panel, cold-climate heat pump installation ensures optimal performance.
Building a Net Zero home doesn’t mean compromising on luxury or style. In fact quite the opposite is true: Thanks to superior insulation and advanced air management approaches indoor temperatures vary less throughout the year and indoor air quality is unmatched. Contact us to learn how we can support you during new Net Zero construction projects, as well as upgrading historic buildings to meet best-practice performance standards. Once the work is complete your new home will provide exceptional thermal comfort, pristine indoor air quality, and unparalleled sound insulation.
