The push for net-zero buildings often centers on a passive-first approach—think super-insulated walls, triple-pane windows, and airtight construction. But this method hits a wall: diminishing returns that make further gains increasingly expensive, complex, and difficult to scale. Builders, owners, and municipalities have long recognized the challenge.
It’s time for a shift.
This webinar makes the case for a more practical, scalable strategy: optimize building envelopes where it makes sense, then pair them with highly efficient mechanical systems — particularly Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs). This approach enables net-zero energy performance with fewer extreme envelope measures, lower costs, and far greater adaptability for retrofits and existing buildings.
What you’ll learn:
✅ Why passive-only strategies are facing resistance
✅ How envelope optimization + GSHPs deliver net-zero results
✅ Real-world examples of successful applications
✅ How this method scales across residential and commercial projects
✅ The broader benefits, including reducing grid strain
We believe every building can be sustainable. Our work is guided by finding the right balance between cutting-edge technology and client needs, ensuring strong environmental performance alongside financial returns.
