A combination of ambitious climate change targets, falling solar photovoltaic prices, Provincial Building Code changes, and flexible electricity rates have created the a situation where Net-Zero Energy is no longer a far out goal but a fast approaching reality. Through examining a carefully chosen collection of relevant sources on the topic this paper will demonstrate why, how, and when Net-Zero Energy will become reality in Canada.enAuthor owns copyright, except where explicitly noted.
