An all-electric home uses electricity rather than gas or another onsite fossil fuel for major household services such as cooking, hot water, space heating and cooling. These systems can then be supported by onsite solar generation and renewable electricity.

Within Green Star Homes, this is not treated as a collection of unrelated appliance choices. The Positive outcome connects electrification with thermal performance, airtightness, efficient household systems, renewable energy and information that helps the resident operate the home as intended.

This guide focuses on how all-electric design is coordinated across an eligible volume builder’s product range and carried into individual completed homes. For the complete framework context, visit the Green Star Homes Knowledge Hub.
