Living Future 2015

With the success of net zero energy (NZE) buildings, there is an opportunity to expand NZE to neighborhood, campus, watershed, city and state levels. This session will explore how non-profits, the business sector, citizens, institutional organizations and governments can successfully achieve NZE and be financially profitable. A methodology and process will be presented for successful implementation of NZE financial analysis, stakeholder engagement and funding source implications through donors, financial institutions or investors. In small breakout groups, participants will generate NZE strategic plans for their community projects using the process and methodology presented. Prerequisite: Interest in your community!
