ASHRAE Golden Gate Chapter - Fog Dispenser On-line

GG ASHRAE SEMINAR 2009
Zero-Net Energy (ZNE) Buildings - How Do We Get There?
Wednesday, October 21 (9:00 am - 4:30 pm, Pacific Energy Center, San Francisco)

Rising to the challenge of climate change requires a dramatic change the way we design, build, and inhabit our buildings. In the near future buildings will be extremely energy efficient, and generate a significant amount of the energy they require.

Zero Net Energy (ZNE) buildings are intended to generate as much energy as they consume. Professional societies and governments are embracing this goal while a handful of high performance buildings are showing it can be done.

Yet the question remains. . . What will take zero net energy buildings from the experimental scale to the status quo?

Join us for a day long exploration and discussion of this progression. Specific presentations will focus on:

- The Definition of Zero Net Energy
- The Regulation of Zero Net Energy
- The Utility of Zero Net Energy
- The Verification of Zero Net Energy
- Planning and Design of ZNE Communities

This event will be simulcast over the Internet for your convenience. Consider using a conference room at your location to participate. Remote participants will be able to submit questions during the seminar.

We hope you can join us!

Sincerely,

Clark Bisel, Flack + Kurtz
