Building codes are moving us down the path to Net Zero Energy by 2050. Electrification and renewable energy systems are how we get there, once we've improve the building envelope. Active solar is ideal for homeowners seeking higher efficiency and control over energy generation, while passive solar is a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution for energy savings through thoughtful design. The choice between the two depends on your energy needs, budget, and whether you're building a new home or retrofitting an existing one.
