"Approaching Net Zero Energy at the Lowest Possible Cost”
With Peter Amerongen of Habitat Studio and Workshop
Solar Seminar, April 14, 2010

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Getting as close as possible to Net Zero Energy here on the northern
prairies can be a daunting and expensive challenge. With our cold
weather and long winter nights, it requires a careful blend of
conservation in all its forms, passive and active solar collection, and
solar electricity. Having worked through the obstacles to net zero
energy for three successful projects to date, Peter Amerongen of Habitat
Studio and Workshop has begun to identify a logical series of steps for
designing for maximum net energy reduction at the lowest incremental
cost. The sequence applies also to net-zero ready and near zero
projects.
