TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed standard or reference energy models for the most common commercial buildings to serve as starting points for energy efficiency research, which represent fairly realistic buildings and typical construction practices.
Zero Energy Buildings: A Critical Look at the Definition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a sample of current generation low-energy buildings to explore the concept of zero energy: what it means, why a clear and measurable definition is needed, and how we have progressed toward the zero energy goal.
DOE Commercial Building Benchmark Models
TL;DR: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as mentioned in this paper developed a set of standard benchmark building models for new and existing buildings, which represent a complete revision of the DOE benchmark buildings originally developed in 2006.
ReportDOI
Lessons Learned from Case Studies of Six High-Performance Buildings
TL;DR: The U.S. Department of Energy's Building Technologies Program has established a goal to create the technology and knowledge base for marketable zero-energy commercial buildings (ZEBs) by 2025.
Zero Energy Buildings: A Critical Look at the Definition; Preprint
TL;DR: A net zero-energy building (ZEB) is a residential or commercial building with greatly reduced energy needs through efficiency gains such that the balance of energy needs can be supplied with renewable technologies as discussed by the authors.
