Net-Zero Building Roster Grows, but District-Wide Applications Falter<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Brad Berton, Contributing Writer\"TaliesinWest_1771_M\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The commercial building industry is encountering encouraging news along the hazardous road to \u201cnet-zero energy\u201d\u2014that intimidating challenge to generate as much renewable energy on-site (or nearby) as a property consumes on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n

The still-short roster of North American commercial and institutional buildings verified as ZNE continues growing steadily\u2014from 21 to 32 over the past two years, according to research from the New Buildings Institute. And the count of additional \u201cemerging\u201d properties deliberately targeting ZNE is increasing at an even heftier pace\u2014nearly tripling to 110 during that period.<\/p>\n

The not-so-great news is that successful efforts to enhance privately owned \u201cdistricts\u201d (multiple-structure clusters) to ZNE status remain very few and far between. Indeed, according to NBI\u2019s research, the preposition \u201cbetween\u201d does not even apply to successful cluster operators matching that description: Only one district has been verified to date\u2014and quite a small one, at that.<\/p>\n
