SIMCenter Quotes, Beth Brummitt on ZNE Capable Buildings

July 4, 2015 James Allene

“Net Zero Buildings in San Diego:
The New Model for our Built Environment”

Date: Wednesday May 13, 2015
Time: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Location: World Resources Simulation Center
1088 Third Ave
San Diego, CA 92101

Event Summary:

A zero energy bill every month for your electricity? The concept is compelling…and feasible.

Net Zero Energy Buildings are buildings that produce as much (clean) energy as they use over the course of a year, through a combination of:

Exemplary building design to minimize energy requirements, and
Renewable energy systems that meet these reduced needs

Under California’s recent revisions to Title 24 (the state’s energy code aimed at reducing energy use in new and altered homes and commercial buildings), all new residential construction is to be Zero Net Energy (ZNE) by 2020 with all new commercial buildings achieving ZNE by 2030. The code also applies to retrofit projects that pass certain thresholds. These changes promise to reshape the construction industry in significant ways.

In this month’s 100% Renewable San Diego event, experts will share with us their experiences in building clean buildings and provide knowledge on how to move towards making your home, office, store or other building Net Zero.
