As the saying goes, home is where the heart is. It's where we find refuge after a long day, spend quality time with loved ones, and create lifelong memories. But our homes impact more than just our lives—they impact the environment too. Buildings, including family homes, are responsible for nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With the climate crisis escalating, it’s crucial we act.
What if your home could be more than just a place to live? What if it could reflect your commitment to a better future for our planet? That's the vision behind Homes to Zero. We’re here to help homeowners and contractors renovate to create cozier, low-energy and zero-emission homes.
Our dedicated team of experts guides homeowners and professionals through the process of sustainably retrofitting homes and reducing carbon emissions while preserving the unique elements that make a house a home. With the climate crisis escalating, this approach to retrofitting is more important than ever. It’s time to empower all Canadian homeowners to make a difference.
Helping Homeowners Achieve Net Zero
Making our homes Net Zero is one of the most significant contributions individuals can make to help combat climate change. That's why Homes to Zero is assisting Canadian homeowners on their retrofit journey. Homes to Zero is a comprehensive, data-driven platform providing an original and innovative approach to facilitate Canada's transition to Net Zero.
A Net Zero home produces zero greenhouse gas emissions, is energy efficient, does not burn fossil fuels and only uses renewable energy for power. While achieving Net Zero is a journey, every step brings benefits, including lower energy bills, increased home value, and a reduced carbon footprint. Transitioning to Net Zero requires the right education and resources. We empower homeowners to make this transition, creating a more comfortable, sustainable, and valuable home.
Our architect-backed solutions ensure your home improvements are designed for maximum impact and efficiency. We help you identify and prioritize the most impactful upgrades for your home, maximizing your return on investment. We also give you the knowledge and insights you need to make informed decisions about your home energy upgrades.
