Effective Planning Key to Achieving Zero Net Energy Buildings
Thereare zero net energy buildings, and then there are signature, SageSpace
buildings. SageSpace and Hillhouse Construction Company are teaming up
once again to bring high-performance, zero net energy buildings to
market. We’d like to give you a glimpse into our planning process on 415
Mathilda, a project we started this past summer. We’re really excited
about it.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) set a goal to
bring 100% of all new commercial buildings to zero net energy (ZNE) by
2030 through energy efficiency retrofits and increased use of clean,
renewable energy generation. The construction industry is bustling in
Silicon Valley, but Hillhouse and SageSpace are leading the charge on
ZNE industry expansion and, when it’s done, 415 will be a showpiece for
the CEC zero net energy initiative.
Given Hillhouse’s portfolio of award-winning healthy buildings
and partnerships with industry leading teams at View Dynamic Glass and
Integral Group, the CEC awarded us a grant to build the 415 Mathilda
project and then share our building strategies and final results with
the rest of California.
