A Small Footprint Creates a Large Impact

A NetZero Home has the details | Halifax, NS, Canada

(S)Efficient House

Extremely Tight

This home is extremely tight, with R48 insulated walls, an R88 roof, triple-pane windows, and tight envelope detailing. The house effectively operates as a Net Zero Energy Home.

A "Right-sized" House

This project focused on necessity rather than elaborate details. The owners wanted to focus on attributes such as having a bright, airy space and a low-maintenance home free from concerns of electric inflation. The design satisfies the goals of rethinking housing and retirement while fully serving the needs of the owners.
