Net Zero Home Consulting provides sustainable solutions for homes and buildings. With a team of expert consultants, we help homeowners and builders design and construct energy-efficient, healthy, and sustainable homes that are optimized for maximum comfort and energy savings. We specialise in net-zero energy homes, which are designed to produce as much energy as they consume, resulting in zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emissions.
Net Zero Homes, whether new or renovated, produce as much clean energy as they consume. They are up to 80% more energy efficient than typical new homes and use renewable energy systems to produce the remaining energy they need. Every part of the house works together to provide consistent temperatures throughout, prevent drafts, and filter indoor air to reduce dust and allergens. The result: exceptional energy performance and the ultimate in comfort – a home at the forefront of sustainability. It all adds up to a better living experience.
Net Zero Home Consulting is committed to helping homeowners and builders create a sustainable future for generations to come by promoting energy-efficient and sustainable building practices that contribute to a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment.

What is the difference between net zero and net zero ready?
What is the difference between net zero and net zero ready?
Net Zero :Net Zero Homes are defined as homes that produce as much clean energy as they consume. Up to 80% more energy efficient than typical new homes, Net Zero Homes are extremely well built with extra insulation, high-performance windows, and excellent airtightness to minimize heating and cooling needs. Appliances, lighting, and mechanical systems are all as energy efficient as possible. And to offset the remaining energy needed for the home’s annual consumption, Net Zero Homes use renewable energy systems – commonly solar – to generate electricity.
Net Zero Ready
Net Zero Ready Homes are built to the exact same efficiency standards as Net Zero Homes. The only difference is that the renewable energy system (i.e., solar panels) have not yet been installed. However, everything has already been designed and constructed to easily put the solar panels in place. Think of Net Zero Ready Homes as wired for its future renewable energy system, so that when the homeowners are able to invest in installing solar panels, it’s ready to go. This is called “PV Ready”.
