The Zero Carbon House

• Talk to AECB group, comparing some PassivHaus standards to ZCH. EG PHPP requires heat demand max 15 kWh/m2.yr, ZCH is 7.3 kWh/m2.yr #
• EG 2, Passivhaus requires specific primary energy demand max ≤ 120 kWh/m2.yr, but ZCH needs only 41 kWh/m2.yr #
• 18 months electrical figures: 7,096kWh generated; 3,417kWh used, so 207% of the required power has been generated. #
