SHC Task 40 - ECBCS Annex 52

Net Zero Energy Buildings Database

This International Energy Agency (IEA) Net Zero Energy Buildings Database is a joint activity of the Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) and the Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) Programmes. The database profiles net zero energy residential and commercial buildings from around the world–including buildings that were designed to be zero energy and buildings that actually achieve zero energy. This is a new project and we want to increase the number of case studies. We invite you to submit your zero energy residential or commercial building to be included in the database.

The IEA Net Zero Energy Buildings Database is part of the High Performance Buildings Database, which lists many additional projects. Visit the High Performance Buildings Database to discover more energy-efficient building techniques.

To read more about the buildings listed below, simply click the name of a project to view information about design, construction, financing, energy use, and more.
