PART 1: FROM ZERO NET ENERGY (ZNE) TO ZERO NET CARBON (ZNC): DESIGNING NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN CALIFORNIA - 2-PART WEBINAR
This is event is brought to you by Southern California Edison
Take the first step in learning more about Zero Net Energy and Zero Net Carbon for Nonresidential Buildings in California
Zero net energy (ZNE) has gained traction in the commercial industry and is now an attainable goal for nonresidential buildings. In 2007, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted goals to have all new commercial construction in California to be zero net energy by 2030. Lately tides have changed, and the conversation is shifting from kilowatts to carbon due to Californias climate goals. There is a need to design, construct and operate buildings that use little or no energy on an annualized basis and emit little or no carbon emissions. This class will introduce attendees to design strategies and sustainability frameworks that help achieve these goals in the commercial sector - such as building electrification - and also shed light on ZNE buildings interaction with the utility grid.
Learning Outcomes:
Understand definitions of ZNE and which definition to pick for your building Understand drivers of ZNE and zero net carbon (ZNC) in policy and their benefits to building owners and the greater population.
Learn in-depth the five-step approach essential to zero design; target, reduce, recover, produce and offset.
Understand common design challenges faced on projects and how to overcome these.
Learn strategies and technologies to electrify buildings and mitigate impacts on the grid through battery storage and other strategies for grid harmonization.
