Zero Energy Design Information

Zero Energy Design® has been poorly-imitated by arrogant AIA USGBC LEED-Architect Johnny-Come-Late greenwash pretenders, but most of them clearly do NOT have a clue about the First Principles that we discuss below. They don't seem to understand that "ZERO Energy" means NO Energy Bills At All. Zero Energy Design® is NOT hard to implement. It is just very-different from conventional architecture, as we will discuss in more specific detail below. There is no such thing as a Zero Energy Design® "stock house plan. Every one in a different area requires location-specific detailed computer modeling for the climatic conditions, available sunshine, orientation, building shape, windows, budget, and goals of the owner. A well-designed truly "zero energy" building for Calgary Canada would NOT work well in Orlando Florida or Sydney Australia. There can never be a "one size fits all." Since 1979, we have designed hundreds of proven zero energy homes in many worldwide locations. With support from President Carter's new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), I became the largest exhibitor at the large National Energy Expositions, and I was their most-popular proven presenter. Recently, U.S. DOE and Oakridge National Labs selected me to be the featured all-day presenter for my popular: Zero Energy Design® "Three Decades of Lessons Learned" Workshop at their prestigious International Buildings Conference. I am the ONLY person qualified to make such a comprehensive presentation, based on a lifetime of successful personal experience. My brilliant wife (Rose) and I are now obsessed with the development of our detailed $77 billion Emerald Eco-Cityproposal - World's Largest Construction Project. It is planned to become a totally-self-sustaining, energy-independent, Zero Energy Design® megacity of a million prosperous people (only $77,000 per person for: Living and Work Space, Local Food-Production Aquaponics Greenhouses, World's Largest Theme Park and Sustainability University - including totally-self-sufficient FREE FUEL Green Energy). ...
