Enrolled students must take and pass the short quiz in order to earn CE credits. In addition, this course Zero Energy, Zero Carbon & Electrification: Possible and Happening! needs to be self-reported. Self-reporting information will be accessible once you complete the Quiz.
Zero net energy (ZNE) buildings, commonly referred to as net-zero buildings, are gaining momentum as an emerging green building trend across the world. In this session, on Zero Energy, Zero Carbon & Electrification we will explore what net zero energy (aka zero net energy) and electrification mean for K12 schools, why these outcomes are important to state energy offices with California taking a lead, and why zero energy is achievable by all schools in all climate zones.
What you will learn
- Understand what zero net energy buildings are
