First overnight ‘camp’ in the house so that I could be here for the ground workers and PV panel installers on Monday morning. First time to experience the unfamiliar sounds of a new house and the effects of the late evening, summer light. Woken early by an unruly gang of sparrows and delighted to witness the setting sun casting rays into the north facing bedrooms. Loving it!!! #netzeroenergy #newhome #portmahomack
Built ourselves a net-zero energy home using Scottish grown timber only and no concrete. It’s in 2 parts to create a private courtyard garden in between. The living areas are in one, the bedrooms in the other. To go to bed at night you walk through the garden. #newhome #netzeroenergy #ultralowcarbon

A #NetZeroEnergy building, also called a zero energy building, is one that “produces enough renewable energy to meet its own annual energy consumption requirements.”

– U.S. Department of Energy, https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/articles/common-definition-zero-energy-buildings

Not everyone means the same thing by net zero energy! Ask questions:

1) Is your energy consumption measured as site energy or as source energy?
2) Do you require your renewables to be on-site renewable energy?
3) Do you allow biomass energy or sources that create pollution?

We had a blast hosting SUSTAIN 2023 with the European American Chamber of Commerce - Cincinnati this week! With presentations from Lexmark R.A Jones Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden CLEAResult Blink Charging on their #sustainability journeys. Breakout discussion sessions and everyone got a tour of our net zero energy HQ. We hope to see everyone again soon!
