Net-Zero Energy Building:
Solar 2 will be a carbon-neutral, net-zero energy building. It will be an all-electric building. connected to the grid. The building will generate at least as much electricity as it uses on a yearly basis. Its envelope and systems allow it to achieve 40% energy savings compared to Ashrae 90.1-2007 baseline, and its energy needs beyond that are met by the electricity generated by its photovoltaic (solar electric panel) canopy.
