About the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Zero Energy Ready Home Program
A DOE Zero Energy Ready Home is a high-performance home that is so energy efficient that a renewable energy system could offset most or all the home's annual energy use. Each home is made up of components and building systems that are carefully designed, constructed and installed to allow the house to work together as one system, delivering superior performance, comfort, efficiency and durability. These homes meet rigorous efficiency and performance criteria and are verified by a qualified third-party as part of the certification process.
