Abstract
Greenhouse gas emissions, the most prevalent being CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide are
collecting in the atmosphere and impacting all organisms that reside on this planet. We have the
resources, knowledge, and technology to reduce these emissions, thereby slowing, stopping, and
even reversing the negative impacts if we move quickly and make the big investments needed to
make a difference. Each sector can make significant contributions to reducing emissions and this
paper models the energy, financial, and CO2 savings of a net-zero residential home design in a
very cold climate (northern Minnesota, USA) compared with the same design built to current
Minnesota Residential Energy Code minimums. Results of the modeling and next steps are
discussed.
