Most net zero energy buildings are still connected to the electric grid, allowing for the electricity produced from traditional energy sources ... to be used when renewable energy generation cannot meet the building's energy load. When, conversely, on-site energy generation exceeds the building energy requirements, the surplus energy should be exported back to the utility grid ... The excess energy production offsets later periods of excess demand, resulting in a net energy consumption of zero. 1, record 2, English, - net%20zero%20energy%20building
