Architecture firm Siegel & Strain reports that two of the firm's projects are listed on the recently released list of 20 verified zero net (ZNE) energy buildings in California. The ZNE Watchlist, produced by the New Buildings Institute (NBI), provides examples of commercial buildings that have verified zero net energy performance, buildings that have met, over the course of a year, net zero energy usage through onsite renewables. The Watchlist also tracks emerging ZNE projects and ultra-low energy projects.
California leads the country in both policy and projects that are laying the path to a zero net energy future. Larry Strain, Siegel & Strain principal, notes, "Ambitious targets have been set that require a rapid reduction in carbon emissions and Zero Net Energy buildings are key to meeting those targets. At Siegel & Strain we continue to pursue aggressive sustainability goals for our clients including designing net positive buildings."
