Getting to Zero: A Look at the Costs, Features and Supporting Policies of Zero Energy Commercial Buildings
Register Here
This 90-minute webinar will present findings from "Getting To Zero 2012 Status Update: A First Look at the Costs and Features of Zero Energy Commercial Buildings," a recent report from NBI and the Zero Energy Commercial Building Consortium (CBC). The report reveals that zero energy commercial buildings--highly efficient buildings that produce as much energy as they use through on-site renewable resources--are cropping up across the United States. These projects are feasible with current technologies and growing in number and the additional costs of increased efficiencies are within a reasonable range.
We will also describe the programs and policies that have facilitated zero energy buildings. We'll hear details about energy data, costs, system output and system design of innovative projects from two Kentucky school districts that have achieved the ZEB goal.
