2015 Zero Net Energy Seminar
CaliforniaGeo wanted to share the fact that geothermal heat pumps can help accelerate the achievement of carbonless zero net energy buildings of all types in this state. Everything needed is already on hand. Therefore, we produced a day-long seminar at San Jose City College on April 23, 2015 that included 13 individual presentations by those on the cutting edge of the Zero Net Energy movement and you can review all that content, right here.
