  1. Identifying Research Gaps in Implementation of Zero Energy Building (ZEB). Chayanika MitraVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia . Annie. R. Pearce Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia Literature Review METHODOLOGY OBJECTIVES STEP 2 : Content Analysis • Identification of: • Research opportunities in context of ZEB. • Barriers in implementation of ZEB, based on content analysis. • Factors positively facilitating the adoption of ZEB among consumers. Research Gap PROCESS OVERVIEW INITIAL LIST OF LITERATURE STEP 1: Identification of Literature • Snowball sampling. • Areas Searched: STEP 3: Mapping Barriers in ZEB Innovation in construction • Mapping the attributes of the studies reviewed. • In terms of parameters, which characterize ZEB projects. • . Barrier breakers Environmental Management Market barrier Barriers Renewable energy Construction Barriers in ZEH Green building BACKGROUND Net zero energy home • United States is second only to Canada in energy use per person (DOE 2008). • DOE defines a Zero Energy Building (ZEB) as a building with greatly reduced energy needs through efficiency gains such that the balance of the energy needs can be supplied by renewable technologies. • It has been proven that these zero energy homes can lead to saving of energy up to 70% when compared to their traditionally built counterparts.(Parker et al. 2000). Diffusion of innovation Barriers in Sustainable Construction . Net zero energy building STEP 4: Gap Analysis STEP 2 : Content Analysis • STEPS (Robson 2002) : • Start with a research question. • Decide on sampling strategy. • Define the recording unit. • Construct categories for analysis. • Carry out analysis • PARAMETERS IDENTIFIED: • Barrier • Barrier Breaker • Parameter • . • Conducted based on: • Mapping (tables) • To identify research gaps and opportunities. • Parameters of each body of literature. • .
