3. Zero Net Energy
Defined…
A ZNE building produces as much energy as it
consumes through clean, renewable resources over
the course of a year. Also know as Net Zero Energy.

5. Disruptive Innovation
A disruptive innovation is an innovation that
helps create a new market and value network,
and eventually goes on to disrupt an existing
market and value network (over a few years or
decades), displacing an earlier technology.

16. Governor Brown’s Zero Net
Energy Goals
California has a set a bold course to achieve statewide Zero
Net Energy (ZNE) in the next two decades:
• All new residential
construction will be ZNE
by 2020 in California.
• All new commercial
construction will be ZNE
by 2030.
• 50% of existing commercial
buildings in California will be
retrofitted to ZNE by 2030.

21. Closing Session Feedback
• ZNE buildings do not have to cost
more
• Shift the cost discussion to value
• Stretch codes are the opportunity
to ratchet up the built environment
and compliance and O & M is
critical
• Prototypes are critical
• Individuals influence

22. Closing Session Feedback
• The cache of ZNE is real, it is a tipping point
• The value of aspirational goal, such as the
2030 which inspired CA.
• The Grid is our friend, let’s not alienate the
partner in the utility that we need to bring
along on this pathway.
• EcoDistricts are very inspiring and scale
jumping.
• Government needs to engage and
demonstrate but also get out of the way
and let innovation thrive.

23. Closing Session Feedback
• Setting the aspirational goal has led to a
large range of policy efforts and ideas
• Strategy we need next is the next level of
how to monitor these buildings
• The State and local government is where
it is going to happen
• So exciting to get together with so many
experts, next we can build collaboratives.
• Gary Christianson: small scale developer,
was beginning to scale back efforts, now
feels ZNE effort can continue and so very
achievable.

31. Is there a relationship between cost
and performance?

32. 63% of buildings are < 25,000 square feet (sf)
and 18% are > 100,000 sf

33. Challenges
• Data Gathering
• PV delayed due to cost
• Projects not occupied or
operated as modeled
• Getting the metering right
• Commissioning – new
form of ZNE Cx
• Fear of disclosure - ZNE
seen as an end-all

34. Insights
• ZNE offers a clear and aspirational target
• It is hard - a process not a static outcome
• High performance first – lower energy use lowers
PV cost
• Growth and opportunities in repeatable buildings
(schools, banks, small offices)
• District, community, campus level offer cost and
scaling efficiencies
• Actual ZNE happens downstream of design operational focus, tenant behavior focus
NBI © 2013
35. Trends
• Bigger buildings, more types, more
firms, diverse climates, lower EUIs,
• Buildings use readily available technologies and
integrated design
• Net Positive
• Designers and owners want measurement and
feedback
• Design teams going beyond the project to policy
• Low-rise Multifamily growing
• Ultra-low energy accomplishments are
accelerating

36. Frequent ZNE Strategies
• Ground Source Heat Pumps
• Ventilation: Natural, Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems
(DOAS), Demand Control Ventilation (DCV)
• Highly Efficient Thermal Envelope
• Building Orientation & Glazing ratio
• Solar Controls - shading
• Daylighting Controls
• Energy Management System
• Building Dashboards
• Radiant Heating / Cooling
• Plug load Reductions
