Net Zero Energy Buildings - How Are They Working? - The Designer's Perspective

A panel discussion with designers and builders.
Grant MacEwan University CN Theatre
January 25, 2012 7pm-8:30pm
Free refreshments. Free discussion.
Are net zero energy houses really net zero? Northern Alberta has at least eight net zero homes. Some of them have been in operation for two years. We now have some preliminary data. Are our energy performance modeling tools sufficiently accurate? What more do we need to do to optimize the design? What improvements are possible? What new technologies are becoming available? The Solar Energy Society of Alberta is bringing together a distinguished panel of builders and designers to look at how we are doing and where we are headed in our quest to build completely self sufficient buildings in our Northern climate.
Panelists will include:
Peter Amerongen - Habitat Studio Workshop Ltd.
Mark Ackerman - University of Alberta Department of Mechanical Engineering
Stuart Fix - ReNü Building Science Inc.
