The time-of-use (TOU) home energy report informs customers about their electricity usage, focusing on peak periods under their TOU rate plan. It encourages more energy-efficient behaviors and heightened awareness of electricity costs. The report provides comparative insights into electricity usage patte...
These factors help determine how energy efficient homes are. Further, as the NZ Green Building Council introduced a rating tool for homes, Homestar™, the paper investigates householders’ awareness of the new tool and any experience they may have had in using it. The results help identify ...

Pushed by this regulation, academics and designers started developing design criteria and pilot projects for energy-efficient buildings, but even definitions, categories and limits, e.g. low-energy buildings (LEBs), plus-energy buildings orNet Zero Energy Buildings(NZEBs). In detail, referring to ...
According to European Union energy targets, new small homes should be energy efficient. However, data clearly shows that energy efficient homes are mostly unaffordable and there is an urgent need to design and build small affordable zero energy homes. However, a sustainable business model for small...

If you own an ENERGY STAR appliance with an electric motor, it may already have a capacitor to deal with power factor. So there is no gain from buying a home energy saving capacitor for that appliance. No gain from already-efficient inductive loads, no gain from resistive loads – so wher...
In this context, the adoption of nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEBs), which feature high-performance envelope structures, high airtightness, energy-efficient devices, and renewable energy utilization, has emerged as an important and effective approach to reducing energy consumption and achieving energy...
