1 Million Homes on XeroHome
Imagine the impact of a million homes transitioning toward zero carbon. Today we achieved a milestone towards making that vision a reality.
From our humble beginnings in 2020, when we modeled 8,000 homes in the city of Santa Monica … that seemed like a lot at the time! … We kept moving forward, one project, one utility client, one city after another. We looked back and today we noticed that we have modeled over 1 Mil. homes on XeroHome!
What 1 Million Homes Represent
Each of these million homes signifies a step toward a sustainable future. By leveraging XeroHome’s building energy modeling platform, homeowners across diverse regions have identified and implemented personalized energy upgrades. These upgrades are tailored to their unique housing conditions, aimed at reducing carbon emissions, saving on utility bills, and enhancing living comfort. More than anything, what makes us proud is that this milestone highlights the power of scalable solutions in tackling the complex challenges of residential decarbonization.
Why Scalability Matters
The residential sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. With over 120 million homes in the United States alone, achieving net-zero carbon goals requires solutions that scale rapidly. XeroHome’s platform bridges the gap between individual homeowner action and broader climate goals by automating energy modeling and synthesizing public data to deliver actionable insights at scale. From city-wide campaigns to statewide initiatives, XeroHome empowers local governments and utilities to identify high-impact energy upgrades. This data-driven approach ensures that resources are allocated efficiently, maximizing the impact of public funding and rebate programs.
Realizing Impact: Stories from the Field
Behind the numbers are real homeowners whose lives have been transformed. A family in Syracuse, New York, reduced their energy bills by 40% after adopting XeroHome’s recommendations, including improved insulation and a heat pump installation. In Petaluma, California, a homeowner discovered incentives they were previously unaware of through XeroHome, which enabled them to afford a heat pump upgrade this year. In California’s Bay Area, low-income residential programs powered by XeroHome are engaging residents every day, helping them access no-cost electrification upgrades while enhancing grid resilience.
These stories demonstrate the dual benefits of decarbonization: environmental impact and tangible improvements to everyday life.
Looking Ahead: Scaling Beyond 1 Million
While 1 million homes mark a significant achievement, it’s just the beginning. As climate urgency grows, so does the need to scale residential decarbonization efforts. XeroHome is committed to:
Expanding Regional Reach: Deploying the platform in more cities and regions to support diverse housing stocks and climates.
Innovating Further: Integrating advances in machine learning and real-time energy data to enhance accuracy and user experience.
Driving Policy Alignment: Collaborating with policymakers to design programs that address equity and accessibility in the transition to zero-carbon homes.
