Establishes "Zero Energy Construction Act"; requires all new residential and commercial developments to be zero energy ready; requires developers to offer zero energy construction.

S 3576, the "Zero Energy Construction Act," requires all new residential and commercial buildings in New Jersey to be constructed as "zero energy ready" starting January 1, 2027. This means buildings must be designed to be highly energy-efficient and capable of meeting their energy needs through on-site renewable power (like solar panels). Developers must offer zero energy construction to potential buyers during sales negotiations, disclose associated costs and energy savings, and provide information about available incentives. The state will also maintain online resources detailing environmental benefits and financial incentives for zero energy buildings.
