DOE Pulls Plug on National Zero-Emissions Building Definition
Published Date: 12/3/2025
Notice
Summary
The Department of Energy is dropping support for the National Definition of a Zero Emissions Building because it no longer fits with current government goals. This means states and organizations should stop using it, and DOE won’t offer help with it anymore. The change is effective immediately and aims to clear the way for new energy priorities without extra rules or confusion.
