The Getting to Zero: ZNE Project Guide combines the steps that successful ZNE building teams implement with existing ZNE tools and resources. The guide outlines the importance of gaining stakeholder awareness, setting energy goals and targets, thoughtful team selection, finance and incentive opportunities, smart early design/design and construction considerations, project hand-off, and the unique operation and verification opportunities for ZNE buildings. Complete with a high-level checklist that teams can reference throughout the life of a project, this guide is an essential tool for anyone considering a ZNE project or who is already engaged.
For additional ZNE information, NBI’s ZNE Communication Toolkit site hosts many tools and resources to support jurisdictions and private building owners on their path to a ZNE building or portfolio.
