Net-Zero Living

The Philippines is heavily reliant on non-renewable energy sources. This type of reliance results in fluctuating and rising energy prices. 

Electricity costs in the Philippines are among the highest in Southeast Asia, with households often facing high bills due to the use of air conditioning and other energy-intensive appliances. Unfortunately, these costs can account for a substantial portion of a family’s monthly budget, leading to financial strain, especially in low-income communities.

The Philippines faces a critical housing shortage, with millions of Filipinos unable to access affordable and sustainable housing. As the government and private sector work to address this gap, it’s essential that every new housing development in the Philippines not only meets the basic needs of shelter but also embraces sustainability and energy efficiency. That’s where the concept of net-zero housing becomes relevant.

What if your roof could do more than just give you shade? What if it could actually help you earn money?That’s what’s happening in some Filipino homes today, especially those with solar-powered roofs like BillionBricks’ PowerShade. These systems don’t just cut down bills; they can also create extra income by generating more electricity than a home actually needs. This extra power is sold back to energy buyers or microgrids, turning sunlight into savings and income.
