BATH — Mike White of Island Carpentry is scheduled to lead a program titled “Zero Energy Homes” from 5: 30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Patten Free Library.
“Just like a typical home, a Zero Energy Home (ZEH) is connected to, and uses energy from, the local electric utility,” a release about the program states. “But unlike typical homes, at times the ZEH makes enough power to send some back to the utility. Annually, a ZEH produces enough energy to offset the amount purchased from the utility resulting in a net-zero annual energy bill.”
The library and Roy Farmer Associates Carleton Group co- sponsor the program.
