Sifton Properties recently created its first-ever Net Zero home in Warbler Woods in London, Ontario. According to the brand, "a Net Zero home is a home with net-zero energy consumption," meaning "the total amount of energy used by the building and its occupants... roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created by the solar technology on the roof."
The Sifton Properties Net Zero home was crafted to seamlessly blend into the neighbor of stunning Sifton model homes, however, will feature cutting-edge green and energy-efficient technologies. The home is crafted to be "air-tight" through an exterior air barrier system and extensive air sealing detailing, reducing air leakage with an "energy recovery ventilator which will also balance humidity levels."
Lastly, to generate the "free" renewable energy, the Net Zero Home will leverage integrated solar shingles which "will be tied into the grid allowing electricity generated to be sold back to London Hydro."
