520 |aThese findings illustrate the benefits and trade-offs associated with the pursuit of net-zero energy design, namely, low operating energy consumption versus increased material usage and higher related embodied energy. The study shows that residential energy efficiency measures and renewable energy generation systems are effective means to lower overall life-cycle energy use and many environmental impacts—though not all. As housing design becomes ever more energy-efficient in the future, the embodied contribution will become a greater share of total life-cycle effects. It will become necessary to better understand the implications of material choices to ensure operating energy objectives do not come at the expense of increased embodied energy use and environmental impacts.
