Zero net energy (ZNE) construction is a necessary step for reducing buildings’ energy impact, as well as their impact on climate change. Yet, for many architects, zero energy construction remains an elusive goal, still just out of reach.Certainly, there remain...
Zero Net Energy (ZNE) buildings are designed with greatly reduced energy loads so that over the course of a year their energy use can be completely met through on-site renewable energy generation.To be verified as ZNE construction by a utility’s energy efficiency...
