net zero energy buildings
Net zero energy buildings are highly efficient structures that generate as much energy as they consume over a defined period, usually a year. These buildings utilize energy-saving systems and renewable energy sources to minimize their overall energy consumption and effectively offset the remaining energy needs with on-site renewable generation, resulting in no net consumption from the grid.
