This course focuses on the continued lessons learned in over fifteen years of zero energy design
illustrated through case studies from various recent projects. The evolution of building systems and
their effect on the path to zero energy reveal best practices for Zero Energy building design and
operations, valuable information the attendees can apply to their future project designs.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the design issues affecting Zero Energy buildings.
- Discuss the impact that human behavior has on Zero Energy design.
- Define a model for cost effective Zero Energy building design.
- Apply best practices to Zero Energy building design and operations.

The theme “A Rising Tide for Education” has been selected for the 2024 Northeast Region Conference as we hope to showcase projects and places where all students can thrive. We look to highlight projects and solutions that rise the tide for those children and communities who have been historically challenged or overlooked. In our efforts to design for the neediest students and solve for the most challenging of situations, we see that all students can achieve success.
While the expression “A Rising Tide Raises all Boats” is often used to describe macroeconomics, the phrase popularized by John F Kennedy can be used to describe equity.
