In The New Net Zero, sustainable architect Bill Maclay charts the path for designers and builders interested in exploring green designs new frontier net-zero-energy structures that produce as much energy as they consume and are carbon neutral.In a nation where traditional buildings use roughly 40 percent of the total fossil energy, the interest in net-zero building is growing enormously-among both designers interested in addressing climate change and consumers interested in energy efficiency and long-term savings. Maclay, an award-winning net-zero designer whose buildings have achieved high-performance goals at affordable costs, makes the case for a net-zero future; explains net-zero building metrics, integrated design practices, and renewable energy options; and shares his lessons learned on net-zero teambuilding.Designers and builders will find a wealth of state-of-the-art information on such considerations as air, water, and vapor barriers; embodied energy; residential and commercial net-zero standards; monitoring and commissioning; insulation options; costs; and more.The comprehensive overview is accompanied by several case studies, which include institutional buildings, commercial projects, and residences. Both new-building and renovation projects are covered in detail.The New Net Zero is geared toward professionals exploring net-zero design, but also suitable for nonprofessionals seeking ideas and strategies on net-zero options that are beautiful and renewably powered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52340230947104,"sku":"USED160358448X","price":142.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71_rHVXTBEL.jpg?v=1789134902","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-new-net-zero-leading-edge-design-and-construction-of-homes-and-buildings-for-a-renewable-energy-future-160358448x-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
