Is Your Home Net Zero Ready? What to Look for in 2025
Net zero isn’t a buzzword anymore — it’s the benchmark for future-ready homes. In 2025, developers, landlords, and local authorities are all being pushed to cut emissions fast. But what does a ‘net zero ready’ home actually look like? Whether you’re renting, buying or renovating, here’s your checklist.
What Is a Net Zero Ready Home?
A ‘net zero ready’ home is designed (or upgraded) to produce zero carbon emissions over time — typically by combining excellent insulation, electric heating, and renewable energy sources. These homes don’t just reduce your environmental impact — they’re cheaper to run too.
Top 6 Features of a Net Zero Ready Home in 2025
- High-performance insulation in walls, floors and roof
- Triple-glazed windows and airtight doors
- Electric heating systems like air-source heat pumps
- On-site renewable energy (solar panels, battery storage)
- Smart meters and energy usage dashboards
- Ventilation systems with heat recovery (MVHR)

Absolutely. Even if you don’t own the building, net zero features directly affect your comfort, bills, and carbon footprint. Property Krowd helps renters understand what to look for — and what to ask for — when it comes to green standards.
