Buildings get built and renovated locally. Find out what’s happening in your community, town, city, state. Talk about it with your friends and neighbors. Work together for change. #NetZeroNow
FINAL QUESTION--Q15: What do you think is the most important thing to understand about the movement for #NetZeroNow and what is the best way for interested folks to get involved with creating and advocating for #NetZero buildings?
A great example is @EnergiesprongEU - in addition to Europe, they're working in NY & CA to create a #NetZero energy refurbishment market using technologies like a prefabricated façade, rooftop PV, & smart HVAC installations that can be completed in 10 days or less. #NetZeroNow
Q11: For @dkweyl & @RalphDiNola- What kind of successes involving #NetZeroNow are you seeing globally that you think we can replicate to push for better buildings in the United States?
"Every dollar invested in building code adoption provides eleven times more in savings by reducing damage and helping communities recover more quickly," announces @WhiteHouse in regard to the newly formed National Initiative to Advance Building Codes. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

Not a starter resource, but the Advanced Energy Design Guide series published by @ashraenews has recently release #ZeroEnergy design guides for K-12 schools, small/medium offices, and multifamily residential. #netzeronowashrae.org/technical-resourc…
Q2: Let’s get started with some resource sharing! What’s a resource from another org that you think is the best place to start for someone with little knowledge on #NetZeroNow and how buildings contribute to almost 40% of #CarbonEmissons in the U.S.?
We are the @AIANational Codes Advocacy Program -- made up of advocacy professionals on staff & dozens of volunteer #architect members across the country. Led by our Codes & Standards Committee, our members participate in policy at the national, state, and local levels.

Join @NewBldgsInst tomorrow, June 14 for a Twitter Chat at 12:30 ET to talk about Net Zero Solutions to Climate Change. We'll be there 👋 School buildings have a role to play, too!
#NetZeroNow#NetZeroBuildingsWeek
Net Zero Buildings Week is here! Follow along as we share resources that will help to lead us to a #CleanEnergyFuture, and don't forget to engage and participate as well! Everyone is welcome to share tips and resources - just make sure to use the hashtag #NetZeroNow!
This is Net Zero Buildings Week! Do you know what makes a building "net zero energy"? It's where an efficiently designed building produces at least as much energy onsite as it pulls from the grid over the course of a year. Learn more about #NetZeroNow: ow.ly/hW3T50Jw44Z
