In many instances ENERGY STAR or LEED Silver can be obtained for no additional cost. We assist building owners in exploring a wide range of options for funding offsets, including utility rebates, tax incentives and solar renewable energy credits (SRECs).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-2\">NET ZERO ENERGY<\/span><br \/>\nA high performance building can evolve into a Net Zero Energy Building with the addition of an on-site renewable energy source such as solar, wind or biomass. The critical factor is reduction of energy consumption, so that an on-site renewable energy source can be affordable as well as efficient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDING According to the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE), 40% of primary energy consumed in the United States can be attributed to the building sector.
