- Zero Energy Building
Any building that does not consume any net energy from the outside grid. It may produce its own energy and even sell energy back to the grind. Buildings such as this use principles such as passive building design and well planned insulation and cross ventilation. These buildings are also well designed to fit the climates and specific sites they are built on.
