What Net-Zero Means for a Maine Home

A net-zero home is designed to produce as much energy as it uses over a year. Here is what that looked like at Whites Cove in Yarmouth.

The basic idea

A net-zero home is designed so that, over the course of a year, it produces about as much energy as it consumes. That starts with a tight, well-insulated building and efficient systems, so there is less energy to make up in the first place.

How Whites Cove gets there

Our client in Yarmouth wanted a modern, energy-smart home. The design pairs Shou Sugi Ban siding and floor to ceiling Schüco windows with a geothermal heating and cooling system, achieving net-zero performance while keeping a sleek, contemporary style.

Efficiency without compromise

With every year, we strive for a higher level of sustainability — reducing construction waste, increasing home efficiency and welcoming eco-friendly materials. Net-zero is the furthest expression of that, and it does not require giving up comfort or design.

Planning a high-performance home

Performance goals shape the design from day one, so bring them to the first meeting. Call (207) 749-1050 to talk with Ben about your project.
