Individuals, businesses, and groups who intend to pursue more sustainable energy usage in their private or professional lives should consider the zero energy building initiative. While several entities have defined what a zero energy building means for their purposes, the World Green Building Council definition is more realistic. “The World GBC definition of a net zero carbon building is a building that is highly energy efficient and fully powered from on-site and/or off-site renewable energy sources.” Achieving this feat varies depending on local resources, geographic location, weather, and budget.
