This session discusses the strategies that can be implemented which will lead a home to become a near/net zero energy building (NZEB). Also, financing models for the U.S. residential PV market are explored, including third-party power purchase agreements (PPAs) and lease-based financing. In addition, review of The European Directive on the Energy Performance in Buildings (EPBD) that mandates nearly-zero energy new buildings by 2020 is discussed, including characteristics and benchmarks of NZEBs from within existing building stock.
