Zero Energy House Plans
By Solar energy | November 25, 2008
Building a Solar Home
Going solar for us means retrofitting our existing home to use solar energy. However, the least expensive way to “go solar” is to build an energy efficient/solar home from the ground up.
If your interested in building a new home. I found these house plans. Check them out.
ZEH House Plans
Sustainable Future would like to work with customers and builders to get several Zero Energy Houses built. The passive solar designs below come from the Appalachian State University Building Science Program. By adding PV and solar hot water systems these houses can become ZEHs. Such is the case with the Catawba Valley plan that was built as a ZEH for Habitat for Humanity. If you are interested in building a ZEH please contact David Bolt at Sustainable Future.
