Net zero energy homes are becoming an increasingly popular option in Canada. These buildings generates as much energy as they require over the course of the year. Edmonton now has eight net zero energy homes. How is it to live in a net-zero-energy home?  Are they easy to live in?  Are they comfortable? Do they work? What are the utility bills? What about maintenance?  Did you have to change your lifestyle at all? What would the occupants change?

Come hear the human perspective on these cutting edge experiments in northern climate sustainable living.
