Zero Energy Home

[AeroJimE27]

So what is the difference in build/install/set up costs between this home and a traditional home?

[MrSchpankme]

Zero Net Energy = paying for Solar and connecting to the Commercial Grid. Makes no sense why you would have foam insulation on the inside & outside of a thermal mass (concrete) wall! Thanks for sharing.

good video ..what did it cost to install all those goodies ?.when do you expect to get your money back ? if builders make this common pratice we would have a better future

Tim's a comic genius!

Cool video. Informative. Honestly not being familiar with Tim, I didn't know at first if he was trying to be funny or if he was that stupid. The jokes where that bad. But the awkwardness following each one was awesome.

Please, if you can't pull off the funny guy routine, don't attempt it. I mean, we all do it a few times in our lives and afterwards think 'Yeah, that made me look like an idiot...' But if your jokes are this bad, they shouldn't be on camera!

[coldfusion1111]

a goal we should all subscribe to, no matter what the energy source helps power it.

[rageagainstthedying]

some of these jokes aren't even funny

[donsjuand]

Great planning and excellent work :) I hope you talk to a lot of people about how you did it and why others might want to as well. Kudos to you.

Smart video. WaterFurnace is proud to have its geothermal products as a part of this home.

Wow thats alot of insulation , my question is the cost what does it cost to build and introduce a zero energy house?

[pegobuilders]

The energy used in building is as important as that used once it is built. A zero-energy house can use 30 years' worth of energy to build because it uses materials such as steel, concrete and plastic

[Stargrave]

@pegobuilders orly did you compare that what it cost to build the exact same house w/o the zero-energy add factor in the amount of energry produced and saved over the next 200+ hundred years? by building thing out of stuff that needs to be replaced less often

[brycemason]

Sweet bro, got to have a house party!

[mattghtpa]

Amazing. Beautiful. Intelegent!

[sohoaebi]

Great.

Hi y'all. This is one of the houses Tony built in New Paltz. I am so impressed that I want to send it to all my friends

[wipperfurth]

How much would a system like that cost?

[nealmarshad]

Tim, this is fantastic! Congrats to you & David. Great job! Great house, technology, and... great acting! Love the odometer joke!
