Net Zero Homes, whether new or renovated, produce as much clean energy as they consume. These homes are far more energy efficient than typical homes and greatly reduce the resident’s impact on the environment.

“Capital Home Energy is one of BC’s top Energy Advisors with over 25 years of construction experience as well as being a long-time CHBA member and Licensed Service Organization. The team works with a wide variety of trusted BC home builders on energy efficiency and other home solutions. Their work is dedicated to reducing the environmental impact left by homes through complex building science and energy-efficient innovations.” – CHBA, Thank you for this piece.

“I was frustrated with the inefficiencies and waste in the construction industry and decided to take a more proactive approach towards sustainable building,” says Luke Dolan, CEO & Senior Energy Advisor of Capital Home Energy. “This partnership is the next step in helping people reduce their energy consumption, save money and renovate the homes they love to be more efficient, comfortable and have better indoor air quality.”

The partnership was announced at last week’s two-day Net Zero Builder & Renovator Training, hosted by CHBA Vancouver Island in Nanaimo. The boot camp presented the latest developments on approaches to Net Zero/Ready Homes focused on optimizing performance and costs. The second day of the event focused on applying these concepts to existing homes to produce the same quality of high performance as in new homes.

With support from Natural Resources Canada, CHBA is working with select Municipalities who have programs supporting deep energy retrofits and working to give direction to their constituents on viable pathways to upgrade their existing home to Net Zero or Net Zero Ready. The scope of this project is to support industry in delivering 100-150 Net Zero Renovations across Canada, representing a variety of climate zones and geographical areas.
