Net Zero Energy Collaboration is a consultation and building management group which helps business owners, non-profits, communities and homeowners reduce overall energy and water consumption to a goal of “Net Zero”.
What is Net Zero Energy: Producing as much energy on an annual basis as one consumes on site, usually with renewable energy sources.
The first step in Net Zero Energy is reducing overall energy use through strategies in building science and thermal boundaries, water use, lighting and controls, HVAC efficiency and controls, appliances, motors, equipment, phantom loads and anything else that may use energy.
