ABOUT THE TOOL
Understand how the Zero Tool works, and how it incorporates the Zero Scale to visualize building energy performance.
Calculate energy reduction baselines and targets for existing buildings and building designs, compare your building’s performance to similar buildings, and visualize how your building achieves its current energy performance.
2030 Commitment signatories, architects, designers, and 2030 Challenge adopters can use the Zero Tool to establish design project baselines and targets.
2030 District members can use the Zero Tool to establish energy baselines and reduction targets for new and existing buildings, and to assess their progress towards meeting District energy goals.
Policymakers can use the Zero Tool to benchmark their existing building stock in a comparable way and identify how incremental performance targets can be introduced.
Understand how the Zero Tool works, and how it incorporates the Zero Scale to visualize building energy performance.
Step-by-step guidance on how to use the Zero Tool to accurately determine energy baselines, targets, and current performance metrics.
The Zero Tool – an Architecture 2030 project – was developed for building sector professionals to establish energy reduction baselines and targets, compare a building’s energy performance with similar buildings and to codes, and understand how a building achieved its current energy performance.
