What is the cost of a Net Zero House?

I am trying to find out how much to build a small zero net home on land outside of Vancouver, sea to sky, who do I talk to? Is there a cost calculator or builders you can send me too - I want solar and water catchment etc.. I am interested in the prefab how do I get one how do I find/ I have been all over your site and many others and can not find the info.
I have as many questions as answers unfortunately, but it will at least get us started. First of all, where exactly are you located in relation to Vancouver? Prices will vary a lot by region so it's very difficult to pin down a cost for you, you're better to get even a ballpark from individual builders. We don't have a list of regional builders for you unfortunately, but if you aren't too far out of Vancouver I would recommend looking into a Vancouver company called Lane Fab Design Build, even if they aren't close enough to build it for you they can help you with design, and possibly supply you with prefab walls as well, maybe even give you the name of another suitable builder if you're out of their range.
And are you looking just to build to a Net Zero standard or to get it certified? If so here is the Canadian Home Builders Association page on their Net Zero program, they may also be a resource to help you find a builder. I didn't want to leave you hanging too long without an answer, but I have a few lines out asking for more information for you, hopefully I will be able to add more to this soon.
thank you- this gives me a place to start asking more questions too!
Please do!
我和Lanefab合作过，他们只在温哥华工作，但我强烈推荐北岸的建筑商。BC被动式住宅专门生产预制板&它们基于pemberton。被动式住宅是一个很好的基础，以成为净零准备，所以我可能会建议寻找被动住宅的建设者在北温哥华。
