- Powering Up: Exploring the World of Energy+ Homes.
Can an energy plus house produce more energy than it consumes?
Positive Energy Homes are zero energy homes that are so efficient they produce more energy than they consume, leaving you with extra energy to use in other ways such as powering your mobile devices, power tools, or even your electric car.
What is an energy plus house, also known as a plus energy house?
A passive house usually consumes slightly more energy than it generates. A zero or zero-energy house generates as much energy over a whole year as it consumes. An energy-plus house goes one step further!
An energy + house, generates more energy than it consumes. Among other things, it has large windows that provide lots of natural light, a heat pump and a roof fitted with solar panels and solar water heaters. The large stone walls in the house ensures that the temperature can remain as stable as possible. Clay finishing regulates the humidity. On the roof they’ve used paper insulation + a green roof filled with plants for extra insulation. Of course a house like this needs an excellent building envelope.
The basis for this energy-plus house is a solid passive house. Right from the design stage, a great deal of attention was paid to a compact construction, thorough insulation and air tightness, an appropriate orientation, judicious use of glass panes, a sophisticated ventilation and heating system with heat recovery and optimum use of solar energy.
Energy-producing homes, that is what we will be moving towards when it comes to building in the future. The industry is also investigating the possible techniques. Many building professionals believe that in the future, homes will no longer be energy consumers, but energy producers.
An Energy Plus home is based on two basic principles: on the one hand, a minimum energy demand, through insulation and innovative energy-saving techniques such as heat recovery and the like, and on the other hand, maximum use of free solar energy.
The optimally insulated home of energy + residential construction is equipped with, among other things, a solar water heating system, a geothermal heat pump and all this in an airtight finish. Energy efficiency is key in this way of sustainable home building.

What's your idea on the potential of energy + houses? Wouldn't it be awesome if every house made a surplus of energy?
Yes yes yes this is wonderful …. I see a world where we can live harmonious. Thank you MBL
Our pleasure! Thank you dear friend 🍀
More people need to see this house and design their own home around its ecological principles. I absolutely love his perspective on the porch being a central part of the house! Sheltered from the elements, yet relaxing environment to be outdoors 9 months of the year! I would love to see the history/process/timelapse/photos of building this place.
Cool indeed
Fantastic way of living in harmony with the Earth! Lovely home! Aloha!
We agree!
Wonderful!
Glad you think so!
Amazing work of art! Wow it really represents one of my greatest dreams to live like that!🤗💜💜💜Much love from Liverpool!
Thank you so much 😀
What a magnificent property!
Yes indeed, so well done
A dream come true! Congrats for the energy you brought to this place and passing it to us! I wish there’s a way to visit your house. Proost from Amsterdam ❤

Super !
glad you like it, come again ;-)
Wow.
I like it too
where is this house?
hi, it's in the Netherlands, you can see the location below the video
Totally awesome, with all of that surplus energy it would be wise to mine some crypto.
good thinking :-)
How did that go for you? 😂
