Passive Architecture: The Path to Net Zero

Architects, builders, sustainable building practitioners, urban planners and energy technology researchers come together in the unique interdisciplinary environment of the American Solar Energy Society every year. They trade success stories, updates on green building technology, and visionary plans for the future.  This year, the National Passive Solar Conference, which is in its 38th year, will feature two broad themes that explore passive architecture and building technology – “Emerging Architecture & Passive Building Technology” and “Daylighting, Modeling & Building Automation.”  Each track offers insight into state-of-the-art in solar and sustainable building research and practice.  Some of the conference highlights include:
