Rewiring: Through Net Zero Energy Design


Rewiring: Fighting the Resistance through Zero Energy Design, a presentation by Miro Krawczynski, Intern Architect at WHW, addresses the challenges and rewards of Zero Energy Design in Nova Scotian homes, as well as the broader community implications.  
Miro has experienced living on and off the NS Power utility and believes integrated Net Zero Energy Design is the most effective way to transform the entire energy supply chain. He shares his personal experiences, outlines the challenges of building a zero-energy design home in Nova Scotia, explains the advantages of multi-building, collaborative systems as a part of a new energy distribution grid, and addresses how methods of energy harvesting and utilization are critical to whole building zero-energy design and how the grid interconnection method is vital to balance the energy use within the building site.  
New, emerging patterns of energy quantification called Measurement and Verification are the critical convergence of energy consumption, communication and human consciousness.
