In the United States, direct energy use in buildings accounts for 39% of carbon-dioxide emissions per year, more than any other sector. Buildings contribute to a changing climate and warming of the earth in ways that will significantly affect future generations. Zero Net Energy (ZNE) buildings are a practical and cost-effective way to reduce our energy needs, employ clean solar and wind technologies, protect the environment, and improve our lives. Interest in buildings ZNE, which produce as much energy as they use over the course of a year, has been growing rapidly. In the Design Professional's Guide to Zero Net ... Read more
