Net-Zero Energy Projects - The Next Sustainability Threshold
Green design has become the way business is done in construction, and the trend is to build even more sustainably in the future. The next threshold is to make buildings that are "Net-Zero Energy," meaning places that produce as much energy as they consume. Come see this presentation on an entire community at UC Davis that has already met this standard. You will hear about how this was accomplished and what is in store for future developments trying to do the same. What are the challenges? How much does this cost? How does design play a role? Don't miss this opportunity to see what the future will hold.
