A Guide to Zero Energy and Zero Energy Ready K–12 Schools

Written for school stakeholders and zero energy advocates, this 68-page publication complements the more technical Advanced Energy Design Guide for K–12 School Buildings. In eight steps, this guide outlines how school stakeholders can be involved in the school design and construction process to ensure that zero energy design goals are introduced early in the process and maintained well after the school is operating. Although the document focuses on new construction, the information could be used to plan and execute deep zero energy retrofits.
