Achieving net zero energy consumption is a balancing act between the design of the mechanical-electrical systems, the design of the building envelope, and the energy needs of the building's occupants. David Knight and Larry Weingarten have pursued this balancing act throughout their careers in an impressive array of projects in a variety of ways. Their combined experience with mechanical systems alone includes solar thermal, solar electric, geothermal, and other energy technologies. Learn more and register!
