Main Street Zero Energy Buildings: The Zero Energy Method in Concept and Practice: Preprint

Conference ·
Ongoing work at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory indicates that net-zero energy building (NZEB) status is both achievable and repeatable today. This paper presents a definition framework for classifying NZEBs and a real-life example that demonstrates how a large-scale office building can cost-effectively achieve net-zero energy.
