Energy Trust is proud to support the innovative people who make net zero buildings possible, from current industry professionals to the leaders of tomorrow. Through our fellowship and internship grants, we aim to create a sustainable future where new buildings produce as much energy as they consume. Energy Trust is now seeking applications for net zero grants, which are available to professionals and New Buildings trade allies and are awarded annually.
