Net Zero Energy
The verdict is…we CAN achieve Net Zero Energy with our proposed new barn and creamery!
We’ve just finished Stage 1 of our Project with National Renewable Energy Laboratories and the U. S. Department of Energy. This means the schematic design stage is finished and it was fascinating. Amazingly, 55 percent of the “zero goal” is met by simply making energy efficient choices in construction. Hmmm.. better take a closer look at the home front…
Anaerobic digestion and photo voltaic panels on the barn roof will get us the rest of the way.
Thank you team! We’re now moving into the actual drawing of plans. Thanks to all the Energy Center of Wisconsin guys, Mass Dept of Ag Resources and their guru Gerry Palano, the amazingly talented and patient Gene Kurtz and architect John Montano. And inspiration Lee Kane, “ecoczar” from Whole Foods. And all the rest of you who have listened to our excitement over this!
More soon, we’re moving more quickly now.
