ZNE Building to Become $1.3 Trillion Market

According to a report released this month by Pike Research, with green building becoming more mainstream, the ZNE building construction industry is expected to grow into a $1.3 trillion market by 2035, driven primarily by demand from Europe, where ZNE requirements are increasingly required.

While there may be a community of early adopter builders and designers in the U.S., Eric Bloom, Pike Research's building industry research analyst, sees states such as California and Massachusetts leading the way in the U.S. towards bringing building codes closer to a ZNE standard.  

Steve Galanter in our Customer Energy Efficiency and Solar division said this report demonstrates that current and anticipated future interest in ZNE buildings throughout the country is growing. SCE's interests align with this as we are pushing for economic integrated design and deep energy-usage reductions to ensure that this trend is market sustainable.
