Zero Net Energy Homes in North America Are Expected to Reach 27,000 in 2025, According to Navigant Research
While North America leads, the zero net energy homes market is
gaining momentum in Europe and Asia Pacific, report finds
A new report from Navigant
Research analyzes the market for zero net energy homes (ZNEHs),
including the zero net energy (ZNE), near-ZNE, and ZNE-ready segments,
with global forecasts for units and revenue, through 2025.
As residential building codes call for greater energy efficiency, and
the use of onsite generation for grid load management becomes more
valuable, the market for ZNEHs is emerging. Near- ZNE and ZNE-ready
homes are also becoming increasingly accepted as builders make more
effort to offer enhanced efficiency options and satisfy energy-conscious
consumers. Click
to tweet: According to a new report from Navigant Research, total
ZNEHs in North America are expected to grow from 750 in 2015 to nearly
27,000 in 2025.
“ZNEHs are still quite rare, however, the market is poised for growth
over the next decade, particularly in California, where a strong
regulatory framework calls for all new homes to be zero net starting in
2020,” says Neil Strother, principal research analyst with Navigant
Research. “In addition, the market is expected to get a boost as
builders incorporate the latest technologies to meet the increased
energy efficiency standards, and to satisfy consumers seeking to
significantly lower or eliminate their monthly energy bills and reduce
their impact on the environment.”
While California leads the drive toward ZNEHs worldwide, according to
the report, other states in the United States and other countries in
select regions are beginning to follow suit. Outside of North America,
the ZNE market is gaining momentum in Asia Pacific and Europe, where a
2010 European Union directive requests all new buildings be near-ZNE by
the end of 2020.
The report, Market
Data: Zero Net Energy Homes, examines the global market for
ZNEHs in three categories: ZNE, near-ZNE, and ZNE-ready. The study
provides an analysis of the drivers and barriers of the ZNEH market and
highlights several case studies. Global market forecasts for units and
revenue, segmented by category and region, extend through 2025. The
report also provides distinct market definitions for the different
categories and examines the key regional market trends related to ZNEHs.
