Zero Net Energy
REDUCE COSTS, MAXIMIZE VALUE WITH INDEPENDENT ENERGY EXPERTISE
Zero Net Energy (ZNE) and Zero Net Carbon are increasingly targets for new building, campus, and portfolio projects to address both regulatory and environmental objectives. Sage Energy Consulting works with our clients to help them understand ZNE, clarify and articulate policy goals, and effectively plan and implement ZNE projects.
Define and Leverage ZNE
ZNE can mean many things. Sage helps clients understand and define ZNE, develop policies in compliance with regulations and rating systems, and lay out clear pathways to meet these policies across your facility portfolio. Sage works with clients to show how ZNE can be leveraged together with LEED, Living Building Challenge, and other rating systems to save on operational costs, reduce environmental impacts, and meet your sutainability goals.
ZNE Implementation
For new construction, Sage brings energy and financial expertise in renewables, battery storage, and EV charging to your project design team, augmenting the energy-efficient building design driven by the project architects and MEP contractors. For existing facilities, Sage develops and manages deep energy efficiency improvements and cost-effective combinations of renewable energy, battery storage, and EV charging systems.
