If you enjoy business acronyms the HVAC industry offers as many as you could ever want. However, one of the latest movements gaining momentum - Net Zero Energy Buildings -needs a little help. It doesn''t have an acronym, and everybody knows that to gain traction in this market, you must have one. Face it, NZEB just doesn''t work. The initials don''t spell anything that is memorable. May I suggest we play a version of word Scrabble™ and change NZEB to BENZ? Consider it my contribution to the industry. Of course, this means that Net Zero Energy Buildings will henceforth be known as Building Energy for Net Zero. Yes, I know there is an extra word that I threw in the middle, but you can get away with ignoring extra prepositions in acronyms. Lousy journalists ignore them all the time at the end of sentences.
