SOURCE ENERGY MATTERS:
IT TAKES 3X THE ENERGY
TO GET ELECTRICITY TO A HOME
COMPARED WITH PROPANE
GET TO ZNE A NEW WAY,
BY BUILDING WITH PROPANE.
Construction pros working towards their Zero Net Energy goals need every tool
available to them, and electricity and renewables play a big part. By reducing the
source energy a home requires, propane has a role to play, too. National averages
show that for every unit of electricity used in a home, it takes 3.03 units of
source energy to deliver it. Propane requires just 1.15 units at the source.
Plus, efficient propane is able to work alongside with wind and solar to reduce
a home’s overall energy load, and that’s everyone’s goal. Discover more ways
to include propane in your ZNE builds at Propane.com/Zero-Net-Energy.
