Net-Zero Strategies for Schools

Rising energy costs and an ever-increasing understanding of the climate crisis have led many school districts to explore Net-Zero Energy strategies in their new or renovated school facilities.

Fanning Howey has been fortunate to be involved in the design of two Net-Zero K-12 schools, and we understand the integrated design approach required to achieve these results.

We have also seen the powerful ways that Net-Zero buildings serve as teaching tools for students. From energy dashboards to highly-visible renewable energy systems, a Net-Zero school teaches students about the role they play in creating a sustainable future.
