The design for Sarasota's Audubon Nature Center has earned Zero Net Energy Building Certification from the New Buildings Institute (NBI). The project was also published in NBI's 2018 Getting to Zero Status Update and Zero Energy Buildings List. The project will be recognized and honored at the "Getting to Zero National Forum" April 17-19 in Pittsburgh, Penn.
Zero net energy buildings are ultra-efficient new construction and deep energy retrofit projects that consume only as much energy as they produce from clean, renewable resources.
