Net Zero energy means producing as much energy as one consumes in a year. Buildings are typically designed to use as little energy as possible by incorporating well-insulated and controlled enclosures, energy-efficient products, and sustainable infrastructures. To offset consumption, on-site energy generation such as solar or wind is used.

Answer:

Net Zero means producing as much energy as one consumes over the course of a year. Typically, buildings are designed to minimize the amount of energy used by incorporating well insulated and controlled enclosures, energy-efficient products, and sustainable infrastructures. On-site energy generation through solar or wind is used to offset consumption.
