The recently released TEAM ZERO 2019-2020 Zero Energy Residential Buildings Inventory shows the growth of the residential Zero Energy (ZE) market. Of note, overall energy performance and multifamily units show significant increases.
“Our sixth inventory represents the largest available dataset of residential zero energy homes and features compiled to date,” says Aaron Smith, EEBA CEO and Team Zero Board Treasure. “One of the most compelling data points for me was that 62 percent of teams responding to our survey this year reported that their projects are completely electric, showing that momentum is building for all-electric homes.”
In this report, for the first time, is data related to fuel types, energy system analysis, and off-grid homes.

“What I find most exciting about the inventory is watching what was a tiny niche a decade ago taking hold across the United States and Canada,” says zero-energy consultant Ann V.

The inventory is produced by TEAM ZERO in cooperation with the Energy and Environmental Building Alliance (EEBA). Learn more about the Zero Energy Residential Buildings Inventory program including how the inventory is compiled.
