About the Workshop
As our nation strives to lessen its dependence on imported petroleum and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the federal government is allocating resources toward energy efficiency in buildings to decrease consumption. The focus of this workshop is two-fold: 1) identifying immediate and future research, development and educational opportunities for net-zero energy, high-performance green buildings; and 2) developing strategies for forming industry-university, private-public partnerships to pursue funding.
