So-called 'net-zero' apartments and homes have been popping up across the country, as developers and property owners seek ways to reduce energy costs and be more environmentally friendly.
won't they be surprised at how it's just a wash.....but they'll feel good about themselves....much like those in power keep the welfare system so it gives them a hobby to feel good about themselves......
even if you use less national grid(or whatever company woos the state) the rates GO UP! why? because we can't have layoffs or loose the value of the retirees pensions/benefits.....
it's 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The only "Green Rennaissance" Rottendam is leading in is shuffling the tax money to the RPD and the friends and family! I know this developer, and he told me over a year ago the project would get approved because of the tax revenue, again all about money. What happened to the approved 420 garden apartments at the Rott. Rep. Club? And didn't Long Pond have a request in for expansion, they can't even fill their units! It's all MFH which Rottendam is the poster child for. Yeah, net zero sounds interesting, but it is 100% the developer, the Town is just waiting for their check to be cut!

$1435 for a 1000 sq ft two bedroom? Even with utilities and cable, its not a huge bargain....
I guess I shouldn't have a problem renting my 3 bedroom cape for $1400 plus utils once I move to the GSL in a few years...

If so, I find it hard to believe that the meter will be spinning backyards during the summer....AC requires more electricity than any other heating method besides raw electric...

Newer heat and A/C units are really more efficient than ever. My summer bills with A/C running are lower than my winter bills for heat. A/C is electric; heat is Gas...so would have thought heat would be lower than A/C, but in my case it's opposite. Had new A/C unit installed 2 yrs ago with high SEER rating.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

Developer may be using geothermal technology for cooling, and heating.

It would be interesting to see if they do that. I've looked into it before and have been told Northeast is not a great candidate. Best locations appear to be out west. Not saying it can't be done, but would like to see if they can make it happen (if they go this route).

You can't compare the two since you use gas for heat and obviously electric for AC...the only electricity needed for heating is to run the blower and some electronics....I run the same...
I put in a 95% efficiency furnace about 7 years ago and a new AC unit last summer..I have gas for my water heater as well... My combined winter gas and electric bill is always more than my summer one... Both bills dropped when the new units were installed, but not dramatically so...That's probably a product of sub-state of art insulation than anything else. The previous owner sealed up everything with sheetrock, so any improvement in insulation would be a major project...something that I would not tackle at this point as I'm only going to be in the house another 5-7 years... No ROI to make it worth it.

way too expensive for seniors and a lot of others looking to rent......you can get a mortgage anywhere for less...
Very true.
Except for the seniors with their lavish taxpayer paid pensions
And of course no equity to be acquired in renting
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

There are a TON of seniors who can/don't want to maintain their homes anymore.
And there really are seniors that have $$$$$ WITHOUT taxpayer paid pensions!
Granted, some don't....but there are plenty that do!!
so don't group them all together please!
