Three Residential Zero Net Energy Renovations: Ten (or so) Years On
What have we learned about the experience of living in a deep energy renovated home? Come hear 3 pioneers in the deep energy renovation space talk about what it was like to create and now live in a zero net energy (ZNE) renovated home. We've got data, we've got lessons learned, and we'll illuminate the human experience of living in a home that creates more energy than it uses on a net annual basis. The existing housing stock is where the vast majority of residential energy and carbon savings potential exists. This session will also consider how ZNE renovations fit into a larger policy and market context, connecting the dots between state/regional policies and the implications for supporting ZNE renovations.
