NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Synopsis
The report provides detailed market analysis based on a survey of contractors, surveyors, architects and other operators involved in the construction industry worldwide to assess awareness levels, participation rates and barriers to growth for the zero-energy building sector.
Summary
In the second quarter of 2016, Timetric surveyed over 100 industry executives, including contractors, surveyors, civil engineers and architects, to obtain an understanding of the state of ZEB utilization.
The results of this survey reveal an increase in awareness of ZEBs over the past year among those working in the construction industry. However, this has not been mirrored in participation rates, with the majority of respondents not currently working on any ZEB projects. Nonetheless, there was a clear expectation that participation would increase within the next five years.
Respondents identified a number of obstacles and factors that are preventing greater investment in ZEB projects. These include ZEB projects currently lacking financial viability, with greater government assistance being required, and also a widespread deficiency in terms of the knowledge and skills necessary to complete ZEB projects. However, the widespread adoption of ZEBs and the related technologies in the near future was widely viewed as being inevitable.
