FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Owners of Net Zero Energy Home Release Free E-Book About Energy-Efficient Homes

“Our home is so energy efficient, we generate more energy than we pull from the electric grid on a yearly basis.”

Cyril and Karen Cabral, Homeowners and Authors

Wilton, CT  Febuary 5, 2018   BPC Green Builders, a leader in building green, energy-efficient homes, announces the release of a free downloadable e-book written by one of BPC’s clients, Cyril and Karen Cabral. The book’s title is “What is a High-Performance Energy-Efficient Home? Why Do We Want One? And Why You Should Too!” and was written for anyone interested in what goes into a net zero energy home.

With a goal of lowering energy use and costs, as well as lowering the cost of ownership for their new home, the Cabral’s home was designed and built to greatly reduce the energy waste that most older and even new homes have. It was the Cabral’s excitement about designing, building and now living in a net zero energy home that converted them from homeowners interested in an energy-efficient home to evangelists for energy-efficient home building.

The e-book was written by the Cabrals to help educate anyone thinking of building a new home about what is involved in, and the benefits of, making a new home energy-efficient to the point of being a net zero energy home.

The e-book takes an in-depth look at the design, systems and construction methods that went into creating Cyril and Karen’s new home. Key aspects of the e-book touch on the critical distinction between energy usage and energy generation.  Complete with charts, images, scientific and financial data, the book goes into explicit detail on major design considerations.

The Cabrals provide an in-depth comparison between traditional home design techniques, today’s new home approaches and the high-performance design approach required for optimal energy efficiency such as they used. Their book provides comparisons of energy use and energy costs for older homes, new homes and high performance energy-efficient homes like theirs.

The e-book depicts their journey into efficient and clean energy generation through the use of passive solar heating, in addition to their use of active solar energy by using photovoltaic solar, panels. The couple provides a detailed explanation of how they use the sun’s energy and the home’s energy-efficient design to maintain their home’s indoor temperature to what they desire. In their e-book, Cyril and Karen went so far as to provide a financial breakdown of their energy savings and the payback periods on their energy-efficient investment.

The Cabrals, who authored this e-book, are currently enjoying their second year in their new net zero energy home in Westchester County, New York.
