ZERO NET ENERGY FOR NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDING SERIES
The California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan calls for newly-constructed nonresidential buildings to be designed to a goal of zero net energy by 2030 and for residential buildings to achieve this goal even earlier in 2020. The creation of high performance buildings that deeply reduce overall energy use and peak energy demand, and incorporate on-site renewable energy generation to offset non-renewable energy supplied by the utility grid, is essential for meeting these performance goals. This educational series, jointly sponsored by AIA San Francisco and PG&E, is intended to help design professionals develop the expert knowledge to design and build the next generation of energy saving buildings.
Nine 4-hour sessions led by Scott Shell, AIA and Brad Jacobson, AIA from EHDD Architecture, Peter Rumsey from Integral Group, and other locally and nationally renowned architecture and engineering experts will give attendees a comprehensive foundation in the strategies and technologies used to achieve Zero Net Energy. All sessions assume attendees have a basic understanding of energy and sustainability issues.
It is highly recommended that you register for the series in its entirety, however, individual seats will be available when space allows.
