Is getting to a net zero energy building (NZEB) possible? By using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Buildings Database, with data provided voluntarily by building owners, we may have some insight into whether or not a net zero energy building is truly possible. Ongoing measurement and verification are essential in realizing the full benefits of a net zero energy design. DOE recommends that NZEB status be reviewed and tracked each year and has set an aggressive goal to create the technology and knowledge base for cost-effective net zero energy commercial buildings by 2025.
