Net-Zero Energy Home

In early 2014, NZEC produced a report for NRCan, entitled “Coordinating and Unifying NZE Efforts in North America,” and documented 146 organizations and 100 builders focused on NZE.  This demonstrates industry momentum, and an opportunity to consolidate and coordinate efforts toward greater market adoption.  Our role is a backbone organization to facilitate this collaboration and transfer knowledge within the industry.

Founded in Canada, in January 2006, the Net-Zero Energy Coalition has grown to serve the industry across all of North America.  Our mission is to accelerate market adoption of net-zero energy buildings and communities in order to make the built environment a positive asset on the balance sheet for the planet.

Services

2014-2016 will place a keen focus on bridging the knowledge gap between the Innovators and the emerging Early Adopter market. As the only organization solely focused on NZE in North America, the Coalition will provide trustworthy and easy access to information and resources, and unite a peer group of industry leaders. We aim to simplify the adoption of NZE for our customers, enabling them to accelerate their NZE business development.

As such, the Coalition will provide the following services to its members. Each of these is an opportunity for a specific sponsorship or funded project over the next 3 years.

• NZE Website Portal:  Access to information and resources via our centralized online resource
• Net-Zero North American Leadership Summit  – Collaboration with the champions, influencers and key decision makers from across industry sectors via the annual Summit as well as the Activation Teams that will implement the priority focus areas identified at the 2013 Summit
