Designing for Zero Net Carbon – Three All Electric Building Case Studies (Multifamily)

Register for Designing for Zero Net Carbon – Three All Electric Building Case Studies (Multifamily)!

Join us as Edward Dean, FAIA, a leader in sustainable architecture, walks us through the energy-efficient design strategies and on-site renewable energy systems that make these projects stand out. This is your chance to dig into the details of how these buildings achieve impressive energy performance and low carbon emissions.

What to Expect:

  • In-Depth Case Studies: Explore several multifamily housing projects and understand the relative impact on carbon emissions from both building construction and operation.

  • Design Strategies: Learn about the all-electric building systems utilized by the design teams, and how they contribute to zero-net energy performance without onsite combustion.

  • Post-Occupancy Performance Data: Gain insights from measured performance data to see how these buildings are performing in real-world conditions.

  • Renewable Energy Integration: Review how on-site renewable energy, with and without battery storage, supports ZNE and “zero carbon” performance, and how building efficiency and on-site energy storage harmonize with the electric grid.

This course is eligible for 1.5 AIA LUs and will count towards your Net Zero Carbon Renewals for your California license.
