Here in Oregon, net-zero buildings have gained notable market traction for early design and implementation, yet widespread adoption will require new research to advance best practices in design. Later this summer, Energy Trust will announce the next individual(s) to undertake research as Net Zero Fellows and help advance net-zero building. Two grants, not exceeding a combined total of $50,000, may be awarded.
