Net Zero Energy Services
In today’s world, sustainability is no longer a luxury but a necessity. We are proud to offer Net Zero energy services as part of our custom home building package.
What is a Net Zero Home?
Energy-efficient, High-Performance Living
A Net Zero Home is engineered to produce as much energy as it consumes annually. By integrating advanced building science with high-performance construction techniques, we design homes that not only reduce energy costs but also minimize your carbon footprint. This is achieved through energy-efficient construction and the use of on-site renewable energy sources. Ultimately, a Net Zero Home generates the same amount of energy it uses, resulting in significantly reduced or even eliminated energy bills.
Why Build a Net Zero Home?
Save on Energy Bills
With energy production and consumption in balance, you could see your electricity bills drop to zero.
Reduce Your Environmental Impact
Net Zero Homes rely on renewable energy sources, which helps reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
Comfortable Year-Round
These homes are designed to maintain a comfortable temperature, with better insulation, airtight construction, and smart design.
Increase Your Home’s Value
Energy-efficient homes are becoming more desirable. A Net Zero Home can make your property more valuable and appealing to future buyers.
High-Performance Homes Built with Building Science
At Starland Builders, we build homes that perform at a high level, meaning they use less energy, stay comfortable, and are built to last. Achieving this level of performance starts with building science—the understanding of how homes work as a system, from insulation to air circulation to heating and cooling. We use high-performance windows, advanced insulation, and energy-efficient appliances to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat, cool, and power your home. And, with passive design techniques (like optimal window placement for natural heat and light), we can further reduce energy use while improving comfort.
How We Achieve Energy Efficiency in Your Net Zero Home
Building a Net Zero Home isn’t just about putting solar panels on the roof. It’s about making sure every part of the home is designed to use energy efficiently. Here’s how we do it:
Efficient Insulation and Air Sealing
We ensure your home is well-insulated and sealed to keep heat in during winter and cool air in during summer. This helps reduce the load on your heating and cooling systems.
High-Performance Windows and Doors
Energy-efficient windows and doors reduce heat loss and gain, keeping your home comfortable and reducing energy use.
Renewable Energy
Using renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, geothermal systems, and heat pumps we generate enough power to meet your home’s energy needs, helping you achieve a Net Zero energy balance.
Smart Home Technology
We use smart thermostats and energy-monitoring systems to help you track energy usage and make adjustments that can save you even more.
