The transition to net zero energy (NZE) housing: An integrated approach to market, state, and other barriers

To limit global warming, transitions in all sectors of activity to achieve major reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are imperative. Highly efficient net zero energy (NZE) homes that produce their own electricity from renewable sources are proposed as a solution to reduce energy use and GHG...
