Building a Zero Energy Ready Home

Habitat for Humanity of Summit & Wasatch Counties is building two of their newest homes so energy efficient that they achieve the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Zero Energy Ready Home” certification. Utah Clean Energy in partnership with local architects Think Architecture, and energy experts at Nexant are helping them achieve this goal! Thank you to Edwards Mother Earth Foundation for making this work possible.

Zero Energy Ready Homes are so energy efficient, on-site rooftop solar can offset all or most of its annual energy needs. This means close to zero energy bills and zero unnecessary pollution!
