Definition of Zero Energy Building

Buildings whose energy consumption is ultimately net zero by summing the energy consumed by buildings and the amount of new and renewable energy generated by buildings. A building that minimizes the amount of energy that flows out through the exterior of the building by applying insulation, double glazing, etc. and utilizes renewable energy such as geothermal heat or sunlight to solve all energy consumption from heating, cooling and power supply.
