Finding Common Ground: Defining Zero Energy Buildings
Buildings that produce more energy than they consume have moved from concept to increasingly common reality in recent years. But until a few months ago, no general, industry-wide agreement existed as to what exactly defined such a building.
Learning from Performance
Achieving net zero energy buildings requires knowledge of best real world strategies.
Code Green
This new standard for green buildings will enable the transition from voluntary guidelines and programs to enforceable criteria that can be used by local, state or federal jurisdictions.
The Proof Is Performance
The road to high performing buildings is paved with high expectations — but, ultimately, it is measured performance that shows how energy efficient a building really is.
