Getting to Zero (Energy) | ILFI Education Series
Join your local Living Future Collaborative for a live-viewing of ILFI’s online course: Getting to Zero: “Net Zero Energy Building Projects”.
The International Living Future Institute’s Net Zero Energy Building Certification sets out to highlight buildings that are high efficiency and Net Positive Energy producers. This course will explore the growth and exciting path of Net Zero Energy within the sustainable building movement using examples of a range of building types including commercial, educational and residential. Participants will learn the basic elements of NZEB Certification and highlight inspiring case studies including project teams’ motivation for pursuing Net Zero Energy Building Certification, how they achieved it, and how they maintain performance over time.
Hosted by the collaborative facilitators, DiAnn Tufts (PCA) and Jim Newman (Linnean Solutions), we will view ILFI’s foundational content as a community and conclude with a brief discussion session digging deeper into to the content & case-based applicability.
