Zero Energy Schools Are Here to Stay | USGBC Webinar Featuring VMDO and NBI (08.20.20)

Schools are leading the race to zero energy construction with over 200 verified and emerging educational projects across the country aiming to consume only as much energy as they produce from renewable resources. Recent advancements in building codes and zero energy policies confirm that zero energy schools are here to stay.
In this one-hour webinar, Wyck Knox from VMDO and Reilly Loveland from the New Buildings Institute share national trends in the field and discuss how zero energy schools are a critical component of moving the needle to a carbon free and healthy future. Wyck and Reilly share case studies of different schools' paths to zero energy and LEED Zero certification, including VMDO’s Discovery Elementary School project. Take a look at the current landscape for zero energy buildings, why your project should consider zero energy and resilience as the new normal, and best practices for getting there.
