***As the building design is improved,Utility bills are reduced, while there are increased mortgage payments to pay for the EEMs.
Annual cost are at a minimum at Point 2 which, in strictly economic terms, is a global optimum for the homeowner.
*Continuing on, Utility bills are reduced in proportion to energy savings (following this straight line), while the corresponding mortgage payments increase more rapidly (due to diminishing returns on EEMs).(The most cost-effective measures were used first, and, in fact, some of the initial EEMs may be no-cost or very low-cost as indicated here.)
At point 3, the net marginal cost of EE (indicated by the slope of the curve) equals the net cost of PV power.Beyond this point, it is more cost-effective to invest in PV than to do more EE.*With more and more PV, ZNE is eventually achieved.
At this point, utility bills are zero (at least in theory, with net metering) and the annual energy-related costs are comprised entirely of mortgage payments for the EE and PV.
A potential advantage to the homeowner is that susceptibility to future rate increases and utility price volatility is eliminated.**
