Getting to Zero: Design for Net Zero

The second session of a four-part comprehensive educational series, Getting to Zero: Design for Net Zero delves into the next target of the 2030 Challenge—70% reduction—and beyond. Participants will explore both the technical skills and cross-disciplinary approaches essential for the planning, design, regulations, financing, and operations of net zero energy buildings.

Session 2 will explore our current toolkit for net zero design, including envelopes and mechanical lightning to occupant comfort and well-being. This session will also delve into plug-in loads and other non-regulated energy use, as well as passive design principles. Additional discussions and case study examples on renewable energy and the limits of individual net zero energy buildings and communities will be explored.
