Purpose & ObjectivesProblem Statement:The U.S. Housing industry is extremely slowto adopt proven innovationsfrom DOE’s Building America program thatprovide compelling benefits tohomeowners, builders, and our nation.2 Building Technologies Officeeere.energy.gov
Proven Innovations Advanced Technologies & Practices– Building Science Solutions– Energy Efficient Components– Assured Health and Safety House-as-a-System Performance– Whole-House Technical Solutions– Whole-House Business Solutions that result inZero Net-Energy Ready Homes (ZNERHs)3 Building Technologies Officeeere.energy.gov
ZNERH Benefits to Homeowners Investment– Energy Savings– Lower Maintenance– Future Value Performance––––––ComfortHealth and SafetyDurabilitySolar ReadinessWater ConservationDisaster Resistance/Resilience4 Building Technologies Officeeere.energy.gov
ZNERH Benefits to Builders Risk Reduction– Call-Backs– Homebuyer Satisfaction– Litigation Differentiation– Minimum Code Homes– Existing Homes5 Building Technologies Officeeere.energy.gov
ZNERH Benefits to Our Nation* 250 Billion utility bill savings 2.3 Million job years created 2,000 MMTOE carbon savings 80 Million barrels imported oil saved/yr.* Internal DOE study of Challenge Home Market Transformation over 30 years6 Building Technologies Office6eere.energy.gov
Purpose & ObjectivesImpact of Project:Housing industry transformationto zero net-energy ready homes withsubstantial spill-over impacts onexisting homes that aspire to achievethe same affordability, comfort,health, and durability.7 Building Technologies Officeeere.energy.gov
