Can net-zero energy schools be achieved at a reasonable cost? Yes, with the right approach. Designing or retrofitting a school building is a complex process with many stakeholders and budgetary constraints. But as with any net-zero project, understanding the science behind low-energy buildings can help guide the design process and ensure that project requirements are met. This session will focus on balancing requirements for the building enclosure, HVAC, and renewable energy systems, as taking a whole-building perspective is critical.
