Make Net Zero Happen in Utah

A net zero building has dramatically improved energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are rapidly rising, the climate is warming, and the debate rages as to humans' role in it all.

Meanwhile, the AIA (AIA Architects and Climate Change) and the Federal Goverment (US Department of Energy) are advancing the practice of net zero energy building design, and pushing to make it mainstream.
