This Thursday, July 6th, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, I’m hosting an open house at The Net Zero Store, 17695 S. Golden Road (our former office), where I’ll show visitors the steps we took to make that 1,318-sq.-ft. building net zero energy.
By installing heat pump mini-splits to heat and cool the building, and a tankless electric water heater, we had the gas meter removed, saving $50/month in connection charges. The building is now fully powered by the 20-kW solar array, no matter how much electricity is used both by the occupant and to charge up to three electric vehicles at once.
Refreshments will be served.
