(7) Online visits to ZEB facilities
[Results]
The effectiveness of ZEBs toward carbon neutrality was shown and the understanding of participants was gained.
It was shown that ZEBs are being realized, and that it is also possible to convert existing buildings into ZEBs, in addition to constructing new buildings.
By demonstating the efficacy of ZEBs toward carbon neutrality, the participants’ willingness to disseminate ZEBs increased.
