- In this episode of the Build Show podcast, host Matt Risinger explores the topic of Net Zero construction, challenging the notion of building solely to Net Zero standards. He defines Net Zero as a house that, over the course of a year, generates as much energy as it consumes, often achieved through solar panels. Matt argues for a more holistic approach, advocating for building to Net Zero Energy capable or Net Zero Energy ready standards.
Matt emphasizes the importance of prioritizing construction fundamentals, particularly addressing water-related issues, which can lead to both energy efficiency and improved indoor air quality. He highlights the role of waterproofing systems in preventing water damage and mold growth, ultimately contributing to a healthier living environment.
While acknowledging the value of renewable energy sources like solar, Matt suggests that focusing on building an efficient, durable, and comfortable home should take precedence. He cautions against the overuse of the term "Net Zero," fearing that it may lose its meaning if not applied thoughtfully and comprehensively.
Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Matt encourages builders and homeowners to consider the broader implications of Net Zero construction, aiming for homes that are not just energy-efficient, but also well-built and sustainable in the long term.

From 2004 to 2019 I made my home (3500 Sq. Ft. built 1986) Net Zero with Spray foam insulation, R13 foam boards on the Roof, metal roof, Geothermal heat pumps, an HRV, and an 18.625 kW solar system. I am now adding 4.32 kW of Solar to power my Model Y.
Jesus why so many uploads at once
I've seen a bunch of less than 10 year old metal roofs replaced due to hail. Lone Tree Colorado area.
That is a ton of spam in my Sub box :D
You can get to net zero in most any house just by installing enough PV to meet your yearly electric load. Building an efficient house (Like Passive house design) will cut the amount of PV you need and the house will work more naturally to be comfortable in your local climate.
Gotta go. You just filled up my feed with a shit ton of podcast. Less talk more build.
😢
Got alot of breathing noise upon your video
My feed is ruined. Stop it.
I thought it was illegal to dump into streams but my feed says otherwise, had to unsub
I need to unsubscribe
What stops you? Or do you need some public recognition for your disagreement?
Matt, you forget in all your discussions that people come to you with drawings done by architects and supported by hopefully mechanical and structural engineers. You should be building the house from those plans and specifications. The quality of the construction falls on your shoulders, ie, details of doing right. I strongly suggest that people use a good mechanical engineer for their HVAC and not a youtube hack.
