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

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?

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. #netzeronow ashrae.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.?

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
