1 Net Zero / Passive Homes Building Efficiency for the Future Presented by: Curtis Mercer B. Comm, President and CEO of K & P Contracting Ltd Quality Contracting Since 1976 Slide 1

2 1. Explanation of a. Net Zero b. Near Net Zero / Net Zero Ready c. Passive House 2. Overview of a) K & P s recent build of Newfoundland s First Net Zero Ready Home i. Planning Process ii. What makes it Net Zero Ready iii. Results iv. Lessons Learned 3. The Future of High Efficiency Homes in NL a) What does it mean b) Benefits of Net Zero, Near Net Zero and Passive Homes 4. Questions and Answers Slide 2

3 Net Zero Energy (NZE) A building with zero net energy consumption Total amount of energy used on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on site Decreasing the amount of energy consumption reduces the amount of energy creation required More economical Slide 3

4 Net Zero Energy Ready (NZR) A high performance home built with high energy efficiency A renewable energy system can offset all or most of its annual energy consumption, if installed Net Zero without the renewable energy source Slide 4

5 Passive House A housing standard developed in Germany Ultra-low energy buildings Require very little energy for space heating or cooling 15 kwh/m 2 per year heating 15 kwh/m 2 per year cooling Or peak heat load of 10W/m 2 Traditional home Built to code Averages kwh/m 2 Slide 5
