Definition: Net zero energy building

The energy produced by on-site renewable energy is equal to the energy consumed by the building.

(Energy Consumed) - (Energy Produced) = ZERO Energy

2. Make the energy you use

2. Make the energy you use

So little energy is consumed that we can actually get to Zero with the addition of renewable energy
