Our web partners at Ecohome.net have recently taken passive heating and cooling to a new level, and released a program called Net Zero Heat [NZH]. It is a rating system unlike most others, as it is also a design service that promotes an entirely new philosophy in home design.
Kenogami House
The
Kenogami House in Saguenay, Quebec is the first home built under Ecohome’s Net Zero Heat program. It holds the highest LEED point score achieved in Canada [106], a Net Zero Heat rating of 14.6 kWh and a Home of the Year Award from Green Builder© Media in the U.S. for Best Resilient Design.
