Master the integrated design, construction, and operation of net-zero energy, water, and waste buildings. Learn to balance consumption with production, meeting federal guidelines.

Welcome to "Designing for Net-Zero Energy Buildings," a comprehensive course guiding you through the intricate process of creating sustainable structures that balance consumption with production.
This course will equip you with advanced knowledge to implement net-zero frameworks in real-world projects, from initial site boundaries to post-occupancy verification. You will learn rigorous definitions established by federal guidelines, delve into the granular details of energy modeling, and explore operational strategies crucial for maintaining net-zero status throughout a building's lifecycle. Beyond energy, we address the critical pillars of net-zero water and net-zero waste.
Key learning outcomes include:
Join us on this journey to design a future where buildings harmonize with their environment.
