2. Zero Energy Houses A Comparison of Standard Homes and Efficient Homes --By Dan Hackett--

3. Some Facts: Started by US Department of Energy –1995  Energy Star 50% energy savings –1996  Building America 70% energy savings –Zero Energy Homes 100% energy savings

4. Basic Strategies for Energy Efficiency Increase insulation Solar cells Wind turbines Leak-proof windows/doors Use low power appliances Spectrally selective windows –Keep heat out or in Fluorescent bulbs –65% Hot water heater that only heats when tap is turned on Solar cells –2 kW –Net metering
