Zero Energy Certification

It is now easier than ever to lead your community toward a Zero Energy future.

The Highest Aspirations in Energy Performance

The Zero Energy Certification program developed by ILFI presents a new energy paradigm, where built projects catalyze a transition toward a prosperous future for all with energy infrastructure that is clean, abundant, and resilient. This certification is the only global third-party verified standard that recognizes built projects with industry-leading energy performance and a balance of renewable energy without the use of combustion. The program utilizes a simple approach to certification that is based on measured energy performance rather than predicted outcomes. Unlike other ILFI Programs, Zero Energy projects do not need a construction scope but must meet all the requirements outlined in the Program Handbook

Benefits of Zero Energy

• Save money by living within your means: Zero Energy buildings have best in class energy efficiency improvements of 60-90% over baseline.

• Energy Efficiency Education: Residents and employees are able to connect with the building by learning to limit their own energy use.

• Freedom from fossil fuels: Plan for a resilient future.
