Build a home that gives back as much as it takes—energy independence starts here.
A Zero Energy Home (ZEH)—a house that produces as much energy as it consumes—is no longer a futuristic dream. It’s a practical, achievable goal for homeowners, builders, and designers committed to sustainability, efficiency, and long-term savings.
In this comprehensive and inspiring guide, green building experts David Johnston and Scott Gibson walk readers through the entire process of designing and constructing a zero-energy home. From site selection and passive solar design to insulation, HVAC systems, and renewable energy integration, this book offers the tools and insights needed to create a home that’s both environmentally responsible and economically smart.
Inside you’ll find:
• A clear explanation of what makes a home zero energy—and why it matters • Step-by-step guidance on building techniques, materials, and systems • Real-world case studies of ten zero-energy homes across North America • Strategies for retrofitting existing homes to dramatically reduce energy use • Practical advice for working with architects, contractors, and energy consultants
Whether you're building from the ground up or upgrading an existing structure, Toward a Zero Energy Home is your essential roadmap to energy self-sufficiency and sustainable living.
