Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Getting as
close as possible to Net Zero Energy here on the northern prairies can
be a daunting and expensive challenge. With our cold weather and long
winter nights, it requires a careful blend of conservation in all its
forms, passive and active solar collection, and solar electricity.
Having worked through the obstacles to net zero energy for three
successful projects to date, Peter Amerongen of Habitat Studio and
Workshop has begun to identify a logical series of steps for designing
for maximum net energy reduction at the lowest incremental cost. The
sequence applies also to net-zero ready and near zero projects.
