Abstract:
Griffith, B. et al. 2007. Assessment of the Technical Potential for Achieving Net Zero-Energy Buildings in the Commercial Sector. .

NREL found that no single technology was found to produce dramatic improvements in efficiency needed to reach ZEB for a large fraction of the commercial building sector. Use of combinations of efficiency measures resulted in larger reductions than use of individual technologies alone.
