Achieving Zero-Net Energy Affordable Multifamily Homes

In 2008 the state of California set bold energy-use reduction goals, targeting zero-net energy (ZNE) use in all new homes by 2020. Currently, there are relatively few examples that showcase the technical and market feasibility of affordable ZNE multifamily housing developments. To meet California’s bold goals, much work will be needed during the next nine years to gather and synthesize information about the essential planning, elements, conditions, and tools that are necessary to create successful multifamily ZNE projects.
