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.

Heat pump dryers are an exciting, relatively new electrification technology. One can cut perhaps 10% of your household energy use.

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. By joining forces, the Zero Energy Project will reach a wider audience and have a greater opportunity to build […]

Together we are  building demand for zero energy homes by arming consumers and professionals with resources to plan their own path to zero

Building materials and equipment play a key role in the efficiency and affordability of zero energy buildings. This is why we’re proud to introduce the Zero Energy Project Product Directory to help builders identify appropriate products and to stimulate the supply chain to provide products that will draw the building sector toward greater energy efficiency.

Brooklyn-based BlocPower is an innovative for-profit startup that aims to renovate thousands of older buildings to become highly energy efficient, all-electric, and low–carbon emitting. All while creating good jobs for low-income people. As a “public benefit” corporation, BlocPower’s core goals include energy efficiency, renewable energy, greenhouse gas reduction, economic development, job creation in low-income communities, […]
