 Net zero energy buildings produce as much energy as they consume, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their adverse impact on the environment. Because facility managers are responsible for the operation and performance of HVAC, lighting and electrical systems – major contributors to GHG emissions by buildings – managers often are central players in the efforts of their organizations to achieve net zero status.
