Virtual Connect: Designing Zero Net Energy and Resilient Buildings; May 5 2020

Building codes and owner requirements are moving toward zero net energy buildings. We will examine some of the forces pushing building energy performance metrics, and the progress being made through building codes and renewable energy technologies. For projects interested in going all the way to zero net energy, we present methods for early design screening for net-zero potential, and to help guide stakeholders toward that goal. Finally, we present a range of case studies for buildings that implemented ZNE strategies, and the technologies and implementation costs that helped them achieve that goal.
