Net-zero buildings have gained more traction for early design and implementation, yet widespread adoption will require new research to advance design best practices, technologies and policies. Energy Trust is accepting proposals through January 9, 2017, from qualified individuals to become Net Zero Fellows and undertake research that will help advance net-zero building. Two grants may be awarded and will not to exceed a combined total of $50,000.
