My Future Net Zero Home Master Thread

Well, I've closed on my new house, and all moved in now, it's been incredibly busy month juggling everything that needs to be done with my new home (3 Family ~3600 sf located in upstate NY).

My goal is to get the house to net zero in under five years. No green tech will be off limits and most will be considered at some point. This initial post will hopefully be edited frequently with updates on various projects to achieve this goal.

About the project house:

The image is a satellite view with up being ~due north. The large dirt spot no longer exists, I believe it is from the previous owner doing work on the septic system (which does not work and I am in the process of replacing)

Major Projects:

Mini Projects:

Various Improvements:
Electric water insulation blanket
6 LED Bulbs (Utilitech 60 watt equivalent from Lowes)
