While ESD is being recognized for its outstanding work and contributions to the community, the Greater Chicago Food Depository was the real winner at the recent 35th Annual Chicago Commercial Real Estate Awards gala. (Learn more about the Chicago Commercial Real Estate Awards.)
When will net zero energy (NZE) be a code requirement? How do the various NZE certifications differ? Can a large-scale commercial building achieve NZE?
Those are some of the topics three team members from ESD’s Energy+Eco group – Tim Zelazny, Hardik Miyani and Ken Griffin – along with representatives from Cove.tool and Alliance to Save Energy discussed during a sold-out Passive House Alliance Chicago event Aug. 21.
ESD is currently working on a number of NZE projects and has two Certified Passive House Consultants on staff. We are excited about creating NZE buildings that consume as much energy as they renewably produce.
