Description
Join in as we discuss Energy-saving (and cost-saving) design strategies, a necessary follow-up to our last episode on water conservation. As long as the building industry remains addicted to fossil fuels there are few ways to avoid the ongoing damage done to our waterways and other "renewable" natural resources. We need to learn to design buildings with energy-efficiency as our top priority and advocate for an energy-positive future.
Translation: It's not enough to just slap solar panels on the roof and call that building "green". It takes a lot of work on the design side to ensure a building is designed to integrate solar panels with a smart, NetZero-ready design.
