Zero Energy Certification offers a valuable tool for organizations and owners to demonstrate a credible commitment to a clean energy future through their built projects.
Zero Energy Certification offers the following benefits:
LEADERSHIP
Zero Energy Certification is a compelling and aspirational target that resonates with practitioners and the public alike. Zero Energy Certification projects are recognized as the building industry’s highest performing and most climate resilient. Zero Energy Certification provides organizations a platform to positively engage stakeholders seeking meaningful and verified climate action.
AUTHENTICITY
Zero Energy Certification projects are validated through a simple and elegant process to measure the achieved energy balance, rather than predicted outcomes. This certification process requires less paperwork and is more credible to publicly affirm your achievement. Zero Energy Certification is the only global building certification program to verify a net zero energy balance without the use of combustion; other certifications allow the use of fossil fuels or low-quality off-site renewable energy procurements.
ASSET VALUE
Zero Energy Certification projects significantly reduce operational energy costs and typically result in higher-quality spaces that enhance occupant health and productivity. Zero Energy Certification projects are also net zero assets that will be exempt from future operational carbon fees or regulations. Together, these benefits result in higher annual cash flow and long-term asset value, making Zero Energy Certification buildings smarter and more resilient investments.
