Zero-emission buses (ZEBs) are an effective and efficient way for communities to reduce their carbon footprint. ZEBs and transit system electrification help combat climate change, improve air quality, and provide a stable infrastructure that is less reliant on fossil fuels and fluctuating energy costs. 2, record 1, English, - zero%2Demission%20bus

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

Controls for efficient energy use ... Many buildings use heating and cooling systems simultaneously. The zero energy band thermostat allows space temperatures to float within the comfort zone without using energy for heating or cooling. Separate heating and cooling set-points and separate throttling range adjustments can be provided for virtually any type of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. 1, record 3, English, - zero%20energy%20band%20thermostat
