new ACEEE white paper identifies 22 programs advancing zero-energy, zero-carbon, or zero-energy-ready buildings, including 14 residential and 8 commercial programs.
The ZERO Institute has been recently created to establish Oxford as a centre for thought leadership on the zero - carbon energy transition and accelerate research to real world impact.
Unprecedented investments from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act are a great opportunity for non-federal actors to make zero-carbon buildings the foundation of the climate-aligned communities of our future.
This white paper identifies, discusses, and synthesizes lessons learned from 22 programs advancing zero-energy, zero-carbon, or zero-energy-ready buildings, including 14 residential and 8 commercial programs.
s building energy codes become more stringent and interest in decarbonization increases, a growing number of energy efficiency programs are focusing on encouraging and assisting buildings that are zero-energy and zero-energy-ready.
While the decarbonization challenges for buildings are significant, so are the opportunities. Efficient, zero carbon buildings take advantage of available, cost-effective technology to reduce emissions while increasing health, equity and economic prosperity in local communities.
Chris Parker just finished construction of a zero carbon apartment building, with 70% of the units considered affordable housing, for less than the cost of building a similar traditional apartment building, and he is on his way to completing a second phase.
As we can see from the illustration, Zero Carbon Apartment Building Scholarship has many fascinating aspects to explore.
Net zero carbon buildings are less expensive to operate, healthier and more resilient than typical buildings. They deliver considerable environmental, social and economic benefits to the community.
