Eco Property Type:
Net Zero (grid-tied)
Livability Categories:
Potential Benefits:
Net Zero (grid-tied)
- Cost Savings of 100% on utilities as it costs $0 for grid-tied energy costs.

Straw Bale Built
- Eco Benefits include a lower environmental impact as it's made from locally sourced products and materials.

Advanced Framing Techniques
- Cost Savings of up to $1,000 in materials and 5% in annual heating and cooling costs.
- Eco Benefits include optimized lumber use, and improved energy performance of the building envelope.

Trombe Wall
- Cost Savings of 20% in energy, typically.

Regionally Manufactured Construction Materials (majority)
- Eco Benefits include a reduced overall carbon footprint by reducing the transportation of materials.

Exterior Storm Doors
- Eco Benefits include reducing heat loss in the winter and keeping cool air inside when it’s warm outside, for reduced energy usage.

No Garage
- Eco Benefits include reducing impervious surfaces and reducing the potential for air contamination caused from a car inside an attached garage.

Attic Insulation (R50+)
- Cost Savings of up to 5% in energy usage.

Radiant Barrier Attic Insulation
- Cost Savings of 5% to 10% in warm, sunny climates, by reducing summer heat gain.
- Eco Benefits include reflecting radiant heat, rather than absorbing it, due to its highly reflective material.

Solar system
- Cost Savings of up to $750/year or $15000 over 20yrs on energy costs.
- Eco Benefits with reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Indoor LED lights (whole house)
- Cost Savings of up to $75/yr in energy costs when replacing 5 incadescent bulbs with ENERGY STAR light bulbs.

Solar Tubes
- Cost Savings include reducing the need to use artifical lighting and their associated energy costs.
- Health Benefits include helping with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) by increasing natural daily light exposure.
- Eco Benefits include providing natural light, especially where windows cannot, and offering better heat insulation properties than skylights. 

Indoor Motion Sensor Lights
- Eco Benefits include reduced ongoing energy costs & reduced carbon footprint.

Exterior Solar Landscape Lighting
- Eco Benefits include reduced carbon emissions as grid energy is not used.

Water efficient bathroom faucets
- Eco Benefits include savings of approximately 20% water use. WaterSense bathroom sink faucets save 30%+ water use.

Grey Water System

- Eco Benefits like water usage reduced by 50%.

Rain Water Collection System
- Cost Savings of up to 40% in water consumption.
- Eco Benefits include reduced streambank erosion from stormwater runoff.

Heating/Cooling (passive solar)
- Cost Savings of up to a 50% reduction in heating costs.

Eco-Friendly Interior Wood Materials
- Eco Benefits are that responsibly sourced hardwood comes from well-managed, sustainable forests, and recycled finishes reclaim waste materials.

Zero VOC Paint
- Health Benefits include improved air quality by reducing off-gassing and associated harmful effects.

Green Label Flooring
- Health Benefits ensure low emitting toxins.

Gas Stove
- Cost Savings of 10% to 30% to operate compared to electric.

Energy Star rated Clothes Washer
- Cost Savings of 25% in energy and 33% in water that can save $35/yr in utility costs.
- Eco Benefits include a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Drought Tolerant or Native Plants
- Eco Benefits as little to no supplemental watering is needed.

Combustion Safety Test
- Health Benefits include detecting CO pressure, as low-level CO exposure can lead to chronic health problems, while higher levels can lead to acute health problems, or even death.
