Description:
Because the built environment is a major contributor to climate change—creating 40% of the world’s CO2 emissions—it is the responsibility of architects, engineers, and owners to target net-zero energy and net-zero carbon building designs. This course, part of a seven-part series, examines the term net zero in relation to carbon and energy. The course defines net zero and related terms, concluding with a look at net zero in codes, standards, and certifications and a case study of a recent net-zero building. Each section of this series may be taken as an individual course.
This course supports zero net carbon design (ZNCD) and may meet the ZNCD requirements of the California Architects Board.
