Abstract: With ambitious plans to implement net-zero energy buildings, stakeholders must consider feasible and cost-effective solutions for on-site renewable energy generation.  Solar energy is uniquely positioned to serve this function. Hear from professionals who will discuss how to incorporate solar energy generation into residential and commercial building designs, which coupled with high-performance building strategies and other renewable technologies, can lead to achieving net-zero energy status.
