Pathway to Net-Zero (Retrofit Sequencing)

Renewables are powerful, but they are most effective as part of a sequenced plan. The route to a net-zero building follows a logical order that gets the most carbon and cost benefit from each step, and following that order is what stops an organisation over-spending on renewables bolted onto an inefficient building. This closing lesson sets out the sequence, explains why demand reduction and electrification come first, covers generation, storage and honest offsetting, and ties the whole curriculum together.
