Thoughts on the Future of the Zero Energy Market

Published by BuildingGreen: The net-zero-energy building market has come a long way since the first commercial projects to target net zero were constructed nearly two decades ago. Today, the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) has certified 64 projects, with another 426 in the pipeline. The latest numbers from the New Buildings Institute (NBI), from 2016, total 53 verified projects, with another 279 buildings and districts “emerging”—meaning they’re working on meeting the goal of net zero.
