Net-zero energy buildings and communities provide great potential to deliver an efficient facility with on-site or remote renewables. Properly designed and controlled these projects can also provide improved resilience and even become "carbon negative." This seminar focuses on design and control optimization of net-zero buildings. A new process for HVAC and controls design called "co-design" is introduced that uses energy models to concurrently make system design and control decisions resulting in balancing of energy use, generation and storage.
