Which energy rating system is best? Which energy rating system will help you achieve net zero energy profits faster, i.e., with a shorter return on investment (ROI) period?
In a comparison between four energy rating systems: Energy Star, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), National Green Building Standard (NGBS), and Passive House Planning Package (PHPP), “only PHPP helps to bring the goals of net zero energy performance housing within reach”. That is according to one respectable study from the Integrated Technology in Architecture Center (ITAC) at the University of Utah's College of Architecture + Planning.
I was very excited to read an objective and well documented energy study “Energy Efficiency Benchmarks for Housing” and thought others would like to read it too.
Check HERE for the full report.
