Zeroing in on Schools: Transforming new and existing K-12 buildings to zero energy (DOE)
Event Tabs Default Post-Event
This four-hour event, led by U.S. Department of Energy, will delve into the details on how to create zero energy school buildings. Participants will learn about a new program from DOE and hear real-world experiences from districts pursuing zero energy K-12 schools. Attendees be given the planning and technical tools to achieve successful ZNE project financing, planning, design, construction and operations, and work collaborative on how to initiate and support ZNE school projects in their own communities.
Optional Tour
After the workshop, we will depart for the Broomfield Heights Middle School, originally built in 1983, which has undergone a deep energy retrofit in line with Boulder Valley School District’s vision for a net zero energy school district. This 107,750 sq. ft. school serves 550 students, grades 6th through 8th and demonstrates how an existing school with a conventional scope of work and budget can attain deep energy savings.
Separate registration for the tour is required.
