Chasing Net-Zero Buildings: Old Hat or Chasing the Near Impossible?

Building owners, operators, and managers are increasingly working to create facilities that use less energy and are carbon neutral, releasing zero emissions into the atmosphere. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), buildings and construction account for 36% of global final energy use and 39% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2).

While there are many pioneering net-zero buildings in major cities worldwide, how do businesses, real estate owners, and operators apply the net-zero concept at scale? What does this look like in practice? What are the key design and performance-related considerations when planning net-zero buildings—and how do these differ for existing and new buildings? In this webinar you’ll learn:

•  Key considerations when planning a net-zero building or facility (retrofit & new build)
•  Integrated building design and operation with the energy supply network
• Role of monitoring, data & analytics in managing building energy performance
• Top services/offerings to incentivize building owners/managers to move toward net-zero
