Do the recommendations offered in the EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide meet DOE Zero Energy Ready Home certification requirements?

Not at this time. While some of the EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide recommendations are similar to those of the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home program, they are not meant to satisfy certification requirements of that level. The EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide simply provides recommendations for building an efficient, healthy home as cost-effectively as possible based on best practices here in our own community. The DOE Zero Energy Ready Home program requirements are significantly higher than our recommendations. Visit https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/zero-energy-ready-home-program to learn more.
