Smart Net Zero (Part 1)

摘要

My December 2019 column discussed community and economic resilience and noted the rolling blackouts in California to reduce the risk of igniting wildland fires, as well as the requirement for new residential construction in California to be zero net energy starting this year (commercial net zero requirements coming in 2030). Creating zero net energy homes and businesses is a positive step toward reducing carbon emissions and potentially increasing resilience during power outages.
