Learning Objectives

1. Identify the important decision points at each stage of a net zero building project, from pre-design through occupancy.
2. Apply strategies that simultaneously reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Articulate the mutual importance of active and passive strategies for energy use reduction. 4. Conceptualize tradeoffs between operational and embodied greenhouse gas emissions with a “carbon payback period” heuristic.

Good presentation. Well organized and easy to understand.

Seema

Very interesting

Cynthy

Good presentation. Knows his subject.

Charles

Interesting seminar.

Andy

An excellent overview of the many tools and concepts in moving to net zero in building design.

Ann

Engaging speaker, excellent slides

Jane

well presented for complex topic

Frederick

No comment

Dale

Good presentation of complex material.

Jack

How can I look back at the questions and see which ones I got wrong?

Beth

Nice overview.

Michael

Excellent hour. Well presented.

Galen

A long road to start.

Making Zero Possible: Efficiency-First Decarbonization

$25

This session describes a process for designing buildings that couple reductions in greenhouse gas emissions with reductions in energy use. Proceeding along the project roadmap from pre-design through building occupancy, we will take a look at key decision points at each phase. Along with the emphasis on net zero design as a process, this session will take brief detours to explain related issues in building science, project management, and greenhouse gas accounting.

Credits: 1 AIA HSW + 1 GBCI (USGBC/CAGBC) + 1 AIBD Primary + 1 Net Zero (ZNCD) + 1 Sustainable Design + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA + 1 Climate Action (OAA)

Length: 1 hour
