nZEB Overview
A Net Zero Energy Building (nZEB) is a building which generates, on average, as much energy as it consumes.
If you're building a new home, consider Sun Power Systems before you select a home design. Integrated power systems can be just a few price points higher than conventional, and the few dollars added to the mortgage can cost less than your utility bills, so the savings will start right away. Resale value is greatly enhanced.
An integrated approach is essential for nZEB. Proper orientation for passive solar and lighting creates a natural, organic feel. Massive, dramatic structures add character while evening out temperature fluctuations. Plenty of insulation with low e glass and storm windows cuts the energy use in both the summer and winter. Designer lighting with efficient bulbs and energy efficient appliances trim your power consumption nicely. Solar water heat with a local booster at the point of use allows for a smaller HVAC unit which operates different zones automatically.
Designed to meet the power consumption of an efficient home, integrated domestic systems offer savings from the first month.
Feel the Power. Go green!
Net Zero Energy Building--A Glimpse of The Future

Imagine driving home in your electric sports car, the garage door opens automatically, a light snaps on, and you glide inside. Plug in the car and let the solar panels fill 'er up. Nothing out of the ordinary, except the engine has 1 moving part, zips past every gas hog on the road and never needs a tuneup. |
| Inside your home is just as it should be: comfortable, fresh, clean, and quiet. You always have the option of cashing in your power account or letting it ride to take care of the winter months. One less bill to pay. |  |
 |
The solar power plant generates all the electricity for your car and home, and last year you installed a battery backup for when the grid browns out again. Now that's security you can trust. |
| Everything's automatic. You were smart to go solar because it's so clean and efficient. Now you're part of the solution, saving money, without the headache of paying a monthly power bill. Can you believe they keep doubling the bill every year? How can they get away with that? Oh well. |  |
