Net-Zero Home

Project Features

The wall structure was created using the Nudura XR35 ICF block which features 4” of EPS foam on both the inside and outside walls, while the 8’’ wide inside core is filled with concrete reinforced with carefully positioned 15mm steel rebars throughout the wall system. Additionally, another layer of 3.5” EPS foam was screwed to the exterior wall, making the entire wall system nearly 2’ thick once you include the drywall with strapping on the inside and the exterior steel paneling.

Special care was taken to ensure all the window openings were well sealed and insulated. Pieces of EPS foam were installed within the ICF forms prior to the pouring of the concrete to prevent any thermal bridging around the windows

The floor system has 10.5” of EPS foam under the concrete slab to eliminate any loss through the ground. The concrete slab was polished and covered with an epoxy finish, rather than being covered with any flooring, so that the clients could maximize its use as a thermal mass to absorb the sun’s energy during the day and release this heat later in the day.

The roof system had to be extremely robust in terms of thermal resistance given what everyone knows “hot air rises”. The entire truss system is filled with cellulose insulation which in turn created a challenge on how to efficiently ventilate the roof. The entire roof area was strapped with 2×3’ s and sheathed, thus, creating a duct allowing air to circulate between the 2 two layers of plywood.

Project Summary

The construction of our first Net-Zero home was quite an undertaking.

We needed to co-ordinate the clients’ requirements and their architectural plans with the technical challenges of guaranteeing that the final product would achieve Net-Zero certification.

Careful consideration needed to be given in the construction process, selection of key materials such as triple-glazed windows, and installation of a heating/cooling system that focuses on optimizing low energy consumption and long-term durability.
