Instructors: Albert Bicol, P.Eng., LEED® AP, Cobalt Engineering

Learn how the net-zero approach proactively addresses building performance, rather than relying on complex, reactive engineering systems. Combining high-energy efficiency building envelopes with integrated renewable energy options, Net-Zero buildings produce the same amount of energy as they consume in a year. Drawing on several project examples, Albert and Vladimir will address topics including human comfort, passive design, microclimate and energy modeling.

This engaging seminar will provide a new perspective on building energy use. The speakers will explain why shifting to reliance on lower energy quality — exergy — is just as important as reducing the energy quantity used in sustainable building design and possibly achieving Net-Zero. Join us to learn the fundamentals of low-exergy building design and explore a realistic path toward adopting it in your projects.
