    Wouldn't it be cool if you owned an "energy self-sustaining house" and didn't have to pay electricity and gas bills? According to the Voice of China "Global Chinese Broadcasting Network", a Canadian company has really designed such a magical house
    .

    BuildABILITY, a Canadian consulting firm that promotes energy-free housing, has designed the technology for energy-self-sufficient housing and is working to bring it to market
    .
    This concept of zero-energy consumption houses began in 2006, the so-called zero-energy consumption houses from the perspective of practical applications, in fact, only the solar panels on the roof, can provide all the energy used by the family, which is actually the highest standard
    of energy conservation in the house.

    In addition to the cold and long winters, the temperature difference in Canada is also very large, with summer highs of 30 degrees Celsius and winter temperatures that can drop to minus 30 degrees
    。 Another challenge is how to reduce the cost of this zero-energy consumption house, these are the designers must consider carefully, in order to achieve zero energy consumption, this company uses a lot of sealing technology, in addition to the wall uses special materials, windows are also different, Canadian house windows are generally two-layer glass, and the windows of this kind of house use three layers of glass, the glass is filled with gas that can be insulated and heat-insulated, in addition to they also use new heat pump technology to improve the sealing degree of the house, In order to save energy, hair dryers are also used as a source
    of heating in such houses.

    According to the company's design, in the cycle of the year, the zero-energy consumption house they designed may also need to use electricity input from the grid in the winter, but this kind of house can output the electricity generated by the rooftop solar cells to the grid in the summer, so the total electricity consumption of this house is still zero
    .

    The company also specified the specifics
    of their two-story detached house with zero energy consumption.
    They envision the house being built in Guelph, Ontario, with a total usable area of about 170 square meters, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a house that sells for about $530,000.

    At the current market price, the price of $530,000 does not exceed the normal price
    of an ordinary house.

    The company is preparing to roll out the new technology of zero-energy homes across the country, and five construction companies across Canada in four provinces: Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, are already working
    with the company.
    The first "energy self-sufficient housing" is expected to be completed
    in November 2015.
