Through the Zero Energy District Accelerator, DOE is working with six pioneering zero energy districts to achieve ambitious energy goals. Accelerator partners are using best practice approaches to realize energy performance goals for the entire building and district lifecycle. Their successful strategies will be documented and made available to promote replication in cities around the world. This presentation reviewed the districts participating, discussed the barriers and emerging practices of ZE districts, and pathways for wide-scale replication.
