Prerequisite: N/A

Through lectures, field trips, and a hands-on project, students will understand the concepts behind zero net energy buildings and communities, and the associated climate and economic issues. A brief overview of energy use in the US and the world will be presented as well as current trends and innovations for Zero Net Energy in the commercial, residential, and transportation sectors. Students will engage in weekly participatory labs and lectures, listen to guest speakers, and make field trips, all designed to promote a further depth of understanding in particular energy issues. Multidisciplinary student focus group teams will be formed, working for an actual client and projects that will inform on-going efforts on energy and climate issues. Teams will present their findings and recommendations to a review panel for feedback.
