An Introductory Course on Zero Net Energy by Terry Nordbye

Free on Zoom

Zero Net Energy (ZNE) is a whole-house, whole-system approach to mitigating climate change. This one-hour introduction will show how ZNE buildings reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate the rapid pace of global warming. We will cover topics such as:

·      What is a ZNE building? 

·      Am I able to apply its principles to my house?

·      Assembling the needed team players.

There will be time for questions and answers. People interested in learning more will be invited to an in-depth follow-up class. RSVP to Bing Gong (binggong@sonic.net) for more information.
