Low-energy house

A low-energy house is a house that uses less energy to keep its occupants comfortable than a regular house. It typically has better insulation, smarter appliances, and better windows that all work together to keep heat from escaping and from the sun from coming in, so the house does not need to use as much energy. It also might be powered by renewable sources of energy (such as solar or wind) which generate electricity without polluting the air. All of these features help lower the amount of energy the house needs, meaning it is kinder to the environment and less expensive to run!
