The Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) Series, will begin with the background and an overview of carbon in the building industry, then focus content on energy performance and renewable energy, water-savings as energy-savings, embodied carbon, and finally regenerative design.

The courses have been developed to fulfill the new California requirement for architects to have five hours of ZNCD education as part of their license renewal. Although created with architects in mind, the content is broadly applicable across the building industry.

There are 1.0 HSW|LUs available for class, we encourage you to register for the rest of the series for the full 5 hours of learning units. 

Class 2: Energy Performance for ZNC Operations

This course covers best practices for reducing operational carbon by optimizing energy performance, designing for all-electric and right-sizing renewable energy and storage. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Understand how to lower operational carbon through best practices for high performance 
• Identify resources to right-size on-site renewable energy and energy storage systems 
• Discuss emerging trends in heat pumps for space conditioning and water heating 
• Learn ‘stories from the field’ from all-electric case studies 

Instructors:

• Andy Pease, In Balance Green Consulting
• Jennifer Rennick, In Balance Green Consulting
• Michelle Zimney, In Balance Green Consulting
