Net Zero Energy‐Ready Buildings: A Canadian Construction Perspective and Evaluation
Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2024.The design process for net‐zero energy‐ready buildings (NZErB) enhances energy resilience. This study assesses the potential of new and retrofit buildings in Canada to achieve NZErB status, using key performance indicators. Most new buildings and many retrofit ones meet level 5 in airtightness, TEDI, MEUI, and energy efficiency, with cellulose ...
