boundaries and metrics is foundational 

to efforts by governments, utilities, or 

private entities to recognize or 

incentivize zero energy buildings. DOE 

seeks comments and information related 

to the zero energy definitions, 

nomenclature, and implementation 

guidelines.

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 ‘‘zero 

energy’’ 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 of

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.
