Moving to net zero: Companies build energy efficiency right into new homes

Alberta large volume builder Brookfield Residential has been building homes above prescribed building codes for many years and will offer solar panel upgrades on its single-family homes as of the end of April 2023. Brookfield is also building net zero prototypes in Calgary and Edmonton that will be completed this year.

She suggests both builders and buyers must work together to reduce carbon consumption, but affordability remains a hot topic and high tech is expensive. Builders are buzzing about net zero, but there are many things the industry must figure out before it’s widely adopted. The conversation around building to net zero in Alberta has been going on for a while. Avalon Master Builder in Calgary was one of the first to commit to green building technologies, pioneering the country’s first net zero ready/net zero multi-family development as part of the CHBA’s Net Zero Labeling program. Cedarglen Homes is another Calgary builder working to reduce carbon emissions. In Edmonton, the aptly named Net Zero Developments Inc. is on the net zero radar.

Rohit’s Starling at Big Lake community in Edmonton was one of the first to use LED lights. The developer includes solar panels at the entrance features of its communities and will be looking at solar power at playgrounds and other public spaces.

Nice mainstream propaganda. It never ends!

Jordan Peterson Just EXPOSED their is No possible hope for the BS Net Zero & It will destroy the poor !

People can barely afford a house let alone a far more expensive “net zero” home that would take a decade or more to offset the massive upfront costs

I don't think those houses will be very warm.

Shouldn’t we be looking at the carbon footprint of the entire construction build and the total home lifecycle?
