zero-energy houses
Alternatively: zero net energy (ZNE) houses, net-zero energy houses or net zero houses.
A zero-energy building, also known as a zero net energy (ZNE) building, net-zero energy building (NZEB), or net zero building, is a building with zero net energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site,[1][2] or in other definitions by renewable energy sources elsewhere.[3] These buildings consequently do not increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They do at times consume non-renewable energy and produce greenhouse gases, but at other times reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas production elsewhere by the same amount.

: Or "energy-neutral housing" http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/18/1/10.html . I would prefer 'energy' since it stays closer to the source: 'electricity meter'.

zero energy consumption homes
Not entirely sure how to hyphenate it, if it all, but this seems to cover it.

Not the answer here, I know, but still worth a reference. It's increasingly used as a standard in the UK for zero carbon housing.
Something went wrong...
