2018 Net Zero Fellowship

About

Congratulations to our second annual Net Zero Fellows: Joel Good with RWDI, and Dr. Ihab Elzeyadi, a professor at the University of Oregon. Through the fellowship, each received grant funding to support their research.

Joel’s research demonstrates the value of passive design strategies for resiliency in new commercial buildings. Dr. Ihab focused on the non-energy benefits of net-zero schools.
