Down to Zero: Reducing Carbon Emissions

Thursday, Mar 8, 2007

Learn about the zero-carbon design of a fictional building in a hot, humid climate. Then identify ways in which zero-carbon can be achieved by reaching beyond the building site since the building itself is not the only contributor to carbon emissions. Finally, learn how individuals within the building can contribute to reducing carbon emissions.
