Building a net zero energy home in Western Washington isn't as hard as you'd think! We design our homes to be oriented south, with large hipped roofs so we can maximize the number of solar panels. But the real magic comes in the form of our building techniques to reduce the home's overall energy usage.

Washington and Alaska share a deep appreciation for our wilderness. So it's no wonder that many agree with co-owner Norm's inspiration for our homes to produce all their own power and sometimes even their own water!

Net metering.
It's been a big topic the past year in Washington.
While the state figures out where it stands with net metering, it is still available for new solar arrays.
According to PSE that means "If you produce more energy than you use within a given bill period, PSE banks the extra net metering credit. Your banked credit will automatically offset energy charges in future bill periods."

We all know that seasonal depression hits hard in the dark PNW winters, but what if your home was designed to maximize natural sunlight indoors?
Not only does it create a better space to live in, but you can also passively heat and cool your house reducing your electric bills!
