What Are Net Zero Energy Buildings?
A net-zero energy building is defined as one that is highly energy-efficient and produces onsite, and procures offsite as necessary, carbon-free renewable energy in an amount sufficient to offset the annual energy use associated with operations.
Third-party certifications that verify net-zero energy performance include but are not limited to:
Net Zero Energy certification (International Living Future's Institute)
Zero Carbon certification (International Living Future's Institute)
LEED Zero (USGBC)
PHIUS + Source Zero (PHIUS)
Net Zero Program™ (Viridiant)
DOE Zero Energy Ready Home (US Department of Energy)
