Lessons in Designing for Net Zero

What It's About

For 20 years, the U.S. Department of Energy has pushed the envelope in developing high performance buildings through efforts such as the Solar Decathlon, Building America and Zero Energy Ready Homes. Using examples and imagery of technologies and building practices innovated by student teams over the history of the Solar Decathlon, we'll discuss the progression of norms for building practices and energy codes and explore the trajectory of the technology to see what we can expect from future build projects to help us prepare for the challenges we will face on that journey.
