Planning and Design for Getting to Zero in Schools

Zero energy school construction is a growing trend across the country. This webinar presentation provides insight into how strategic planning and energy-efficient design are making zero energy schools possible at little to no additional cost. Panelists from engineering firm CMTA, Inc. discuss key strategies such as building orientation, daylighting, thermal mass, and high-efficiency systems that reduce the need for larger, more expensive renewable energy systems. These approaches help minimize upfront costs while achieving energy savings over time. This presentation is valuable for school districts, facility managers, and sustainability professionals looking to implement cost-effective, high-performance energy solutions in school construction and renovation projects.
