In the United States buildings account for:72% of electricity consumption39% of energy use40 –70% of GHG emissions in urban areas30% of waste output (136 million tons annually)14% of potable water consumptionIf all new buildings, starting right now, would be zero net energy buildings, this would account for only 1% of energy savings by 2020. According to the California Long Term Energy Efficiency Plan, all new commercial construction in California will be zero net energy by 2030.Energy co
