Building to the Net Zero Ready Home standard isn't just about energy efficiency; it's about long-term value. Learn why upgrade costs can be lower than expected and how energy savings grow over time. #ViCa3 #EStud #NetZeroReady

🔨 We're revisiting the Build Series! Energy codes vary widely across the U.S., and surprisingly few states have adopted the 2021 National Energy Code. Why does that matter? Better efficiency, lower costs, and smarter homes. 🏡⚡ #BuildSeries #ViCa3 #EStud #EnergyEfficientHomes

💡 What will this house actually cost to run?
Most buyers never see estimated energy costs before closing. The new EcoSmart® Stud Home Energy Cost Estimator helps buyers, realtors, and builders estimate real-world utility costs before making a decision.

Building to current energy code may actually be the most expensive way to build.

Energy costs rose 6.75%/yr over the last 50 years while net zero build costs dropped.

Your home should do more than save energy - it should create it. Homes with negative HERS scores can power your EV, cut fuel costs, and turn energy savings into long-term financial security. #ViCa3 #EStud #EnergyIndependence #NetZeroLiving #SolarSavings
