New York, Pennsylvania, and British Columbia shone through as centers of successful Passive House policy innovation.

Debunking a few common heating and cooling myths reveals ways to lower energy costs and lessen the impacts of climate change.

New, green concrete options are emerging to help lower the embodied carbon of homes and buildings and achieve global climate goals.

Home EV charging setups can be tricky. So we’ve developed a primer: from model options and safe installation, to pricing and solar storage.

Energy storage and controls can reshape your home's electricity demand to harmonize with a clean, decarbonized electricity supply.

Aligning design and construction towards Passive House standards will result in zero carbon multifamily buildings that are comfortable and resilient.

Abandoning gas for all-electric appliances? The electrical panel is the unsung hero of any home electrification project.

Nationwide analysis gives policymakers and business owners insight to target specific regions, housing segments, and technologies for efficiency and electrification upgrades.

We know that decarbonization requires electrifiction, and we know that heat pumps work in many situations. But many people still wonder: Will heat pumps work in cold temperatures?

Operational carbon is usually what we think of when energy costs are discussed. That is, carbon emissions that come from the energy used to power our homes, cars, etc. over their lifetime. Your home’s energy efficiency comes into play here. Generally, operational carbon emissions can be modeled and predicted, so you can compare one appliance […]

With carbon emissions reaching an all-time high, it is important to discuss how we, as a global community, can minimize the carbon load of our buildings. As of March 29th of 2019, we surpassed over 410 ppm (parts per million) of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere. To put this into perspective, our sea levels […]

We have exciting news to share! The Zero Energy Project has found a new home within Elemental Green, a leading green building media company dedicated to accelerating adoption of more sustainable residential building products and techniques.
