Zero Net Energy Case Study Buildings: Volume 3
Once again, for this Volume 3 of these ZNE case studies, the following individuals—clients, designers, contractors, commissioning agents and remarkably skilled technicians—are owed a great deal of thanks for giving their valuable time in lengthy interviews and sharing an amaz- ing amount of valuable information that accurately and thoroughly describes the story of their projects. Thanks also for their patience with the many follow-up emails and phone calls about design details, their extra work confirming performance data and their time reviewing the draft case study for completeness and accuracy. Without this openness and supportive effort, the case studies would be quite incomplete and not nearly as valuable as they are proving to be.
Also again, a special thanks to Margaret Pigman of Resource Refocus for the thorough review of each case study. And to the following key clients and client representatives for spending their valuable time describing the entire process from concept through operation and, in particular, how design decisions were made along the way. The generosity with their time, especially for the subsequent telephone conversations and communications about project details, was excep- tional.
