Fun fact: my husband and I are currently renovating our house with an end goal of being net-zero energy: the current phase includes lots of energy efficiency upgrades including new windows and insulation, and a heat pump system for our heating and cooling - if all goes well we'll be disconnecting our natural gas line soon and going all electric! Then further down the line we'll be looking at adding solar PV to offset our annual electricity use.
