Register for Designing for Zero Net Carbon – Three All Electric Building Case Studies (Nonresidential)!
Our upcoming event, features profiles from the acclaimed book, "Toward Zero Net Carbon: Case Studies of All-Electric Buildings."
This program will cover three exemplary nonresidential projects designed as high-performance all-electric buildings that will operate with zero-carbon emissions once California’s electric grid is fully decarbonized. Led by Edward Dean, FAIA, a pioneering architect and sustainability consultant, this course will offer a comprehensive review of:
Innovative Design Strategies: Discover the readily available all-electric building systems implemented in these groundbreaking projects.
Post-Occupancy Performance Data: Learn from real-world data and insights into how these buildings perform in practice.
Tools, Metrics, and Modeling: Dive into the methodologies used by design teams to achieve exceptional performance goals.
Lessons Learned: Gain valuable knowledge from the successes and challenges encountered in these projects, equipping you to reach similar heights in your own work.
Key Offerings:
Case Studies: Understand the impact on carbon emissions from both building construction and operation through detailed non-residential case studies.
ZNE Performance: Review examples of common non-residential building types that achieve Zero Net Energy performance without onsite combustion.
On-Site Renewable Energy: Explore how renewable energy with and without battery storage can support ZNE and “zero carbon” performance.
Embodied Carbon Comparison: Learn to compare the embodied carbon of different design approaches for a holistic understanding of sustainable architecture.
This course is eligible for 1.5 AIA LUs and will count towards your Net Zero Carbon Renewals for your California license.
