Current trends of making houses sustainable and use zero-net energy will take time and research to be implemented most effectively and used on a large scale, but it is the drastic change that is needed to solve the issue. There are many different combinations and approaches to a sustainable zero energy building. In order to describe the current trends I will look at two different buildings, the ZOE building located at Discovery Park and America’s most efficient home built in Salt Lake City, Utah. I will also explain LEED certification, HERS and ENERGY STAR in order to explain how the efficiency of sustainable buildings and appliance are nationally measured.

Surplus energy can also become beneficial in mixed-use developments where the energy producing building can function as an energy hub on community scale or to suffice domestic mobility related fuel needs. However, there is little gain to be expected from energy producing buildings when they are considered on the scale of a single building and no specific purpose for the surplus energy is clearly defined.

A net zero energy building has a system to immensely reduce the total energy of a building by implementing energy efficient technologies which gives counterbalance to the functional energy needs supportive with renewable energy thus reducing the total energy consumption to roughly zero. Zero energy buildings have certain characteristics, such as effective thermal insulation, using renewable energy and using important passive strategies and energy control systems. (P.Torcellini.2006)
