**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. Discussion

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) seeks to develop common definitions for Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs). Broadly accepted market definitions of ZEB boundaries and metrics are foundational to efforts by governments, utilities, or private entities to recognize or incentivize zero energy buildings. DOE expects to use the definition and guidelines in DOE projects that provide guidance on the design or operations of zero energy buildings, and in any DOE programs that recognize or track zero energy buildings.

To help inform decision-making regarding commonly-accepted ZEB definitions and nomenclature, DOE is publishing this to request information and comment about the definitions, nomenclature, and guidelines. The Department will consider all input it receives and plans to publish a report on definitions in 2015. In particular, DOE seeks comment and information about the topics below.

1. Definitions: Are the Zero Energy Building, Zero Energy Campus, Zero Energy Portfolio, and Zero Energy Community definitions reasonable and appropriate when applied to their respective scopes? Should the broad characterizations of zero energy be changed in any way between building, campus, portfolio and community?

2. Nomenclature: Are the definitions provided in the nomenclature section of the draft clear and complete? Please provide specific feedback about these definitions.

3. Are there any recommendations regarding the topics addressed in the section ‘‘Additional considerations under review’’?

4. Are there any specific recommendations for a uniform approach to tracking renewable energy generation for the purpose or ‘‘zeroenergy’’ claims to avoid doublecounting?

5. Are there any other recommendations that would help clarify and improve the definitions, nomenclature, and guidelines? II. Public Participation

All interested parties are invited to submit in writing by the date specified previously in the **DATES** section of this RFI, comments and information on all elements listed in the discussion section above. DOE considers public

participation to be an important part ofthe process for developing a commonlyaccepted definition of Zero Energy Buildings.

Comments may be submitted in writing via email on or before February 20, 2015. Please limit comments to no more than a total of 4 pages.
