Net Zero 2017 – Energy + Water + Waste

Net Zero 2017 – Energy + Water + Waste will take place on August 24th in Commerce, California, US. It is the nation’s largest event dedicated to net zero building design. Attendee registration has nearly doubled in each of its first three years, thereby showing the building industry’s increasing interest in a net zero future. Verdical Group, the conference organizer, has projected the host venue to be at capacity again with 600 attendees for the fourth annual event in August 2017 and collaborated with International Living Future Institute as a Program Partner to bring world class speakers to the event.

The conference will include a full program of net zero case study presentations from nationally leading AEC firms, an exhibitor table expo, and high quality networking opportunities. Tours of the Net Zero Plus facility (the host venue) will be given by IBEW NECA staff. The Net Zero Plus Electrical Training Institute is a high performance living lab, complete with the latest energy efficiency features and building technology including a massive solar array, electric vehicle charging stations, energy use dashboards, and a microgrid – all of which will be on display during the tours. The building produces more energy than it uses annually – making it one of the few net positive energy structures in the country.
