The Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) Zero Energy Ready Homes (ZERH) Program offers a range of resources to assist homeowners, builders, and other partners in understanding the criteria, benefits, and pathways to a DOE-certified Zero Energy Ready Home. NEEP encourages states to include alternative compliance paths such as DOE ZERH in building energy codes. This resource introduces the benefits and requirements of the ZERH Program. A resource guide for single-family homeowners and interested partners is also provided.
