From Fire to Net Positive - New Buildings Institute

Published in the Living Building Chronicle: “It’s really been since about 2000 that both the technology and know-how allowed you to think about [net zero energy buildings] on a meaningful scale,” says Vermont architect Bill Maclay. By last fall, New Buildings Institute reported that 53 buildings in the United States had verified their net zero energy performance over the course of a full year, and another 279 “emerging” net zero buildings were either under construction or recently completed.
