Conclusion and Final Cost Our design is mainly focusing on building a self-sustained zero energy home with optimized function, value and visually appealing In this contemporary era, the world has been growing fast due to the advent of technology. However, the consumption of fossil fuel increases drastically in line with the growth of technology. At the same time, the huge impacts, especially greenhouse effect caused by the burning of fossil fuel raise the concern of the society nowadays. Hence, our zero energy home aims to get rid of the fossil fuel consumption and also reduce the environmental footprint Mission Statement External Research House of Quality Final House Design Conclusion and Final Cost [www.jetsongreen.com]

Conclusion and Final Cost Based on the solar map and geothermal map, Fayette County, PA becomes our choice of location for zero energy home and is designed by referring to different zero energy home benchmarking in US Solar map From solar map and geothermal map, Fayette County has considerable amount of resources for energy production.Hence, we plan to model a zero energy home and build it in Fayette, Pennsylvania. Moreover, our zero energy home is designed by referring to different benchmarking in US. With sufficient reliable research and guidance, the goal of building a zero energy home is realistic and achievable.
