This presentation focuses on a methodology and approach to urban renovation projects seeking to achieve a "Net-Zero Energy" or "Positive Energy" result. The presentation touches on architectural and engineering strategies currently being used in Net-Zero Energy buildings across the country. A compelling case study will be offered for the newly renovated American Geophysical Union Headquarters. The course describes the process used to distill available sustainable options down to select strategies to achieve the Net-Zero goal. The course addresses opportunities and challenges associated with the design, permitting, construction and commissioning of Net-Zero projects.
