Summary Net Zero energy buildings, equilibrium buildings, or carbon neutral cities: in the discussion on the right energy policy for the future, our built environment is a central focus. Although already tried and tested, the measures that can reduce the energy consumption and emissions that result from the constrcution and maintenance of buildings, and above all from operating them, are still far too rarely employed. Although, at first glance, the procedure for drawing up an energy balance may seem simple, the details are complex and there are many unanswered questions. This publication discusses 23 selected projects ranging across different functional typologies and sizes to illustrate implemention at different scales and in different climates. The building-related documentation of architecture and energy concepts is augmented by the various lessons learned along the path towards climate neutral living and working. Comparisons of the different ways in which the goal is achieved reveal strategies that promise real success: "zero energy is feasible!"
