Overview

The Asia Pacific Partnership (APP) on Clean Development and Climate is an effort to accelerate the development and deployment of clean energy technologies among APP member countries. Under the auspices of the APP Building and Appliance Task Force (BATF) Canada is championing an international effort to advance Net Zero Energy initiatives in APP member countries.

 There have been a series of meetings between Canada and Australia on ZEH since 2008. Sharing a common vision to foster net zero energy communities of public and private sector interests, we are now exploring further specific and practical collaboration.

A seminar held on the 4th November, 2010 outlined the status of ZEH in both Australia and Canada and shared details of a planned collaboration project.  The presentations from that seminar are available below for download:
