Net-Zero Energy Modules, A new report from Blokable, details actionable pathways to developing and building net zero energy (NZE) housing
A new report from Blokable, the Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator , and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory details actionable pathways to developing and building net zero energy housing without increasing costs yet still reducing greenhouse gas emissions. IN, covers specific strategies within the framework of industrialized construction that were developed, in part, during Blokable’s INproject with NREL over the past 1.5 years.
The report indicates that by 2030, compared to conventional housing construction approaches, Blokable can decrease total life cycle GHG emissions by 60%, reduce construction material waste by 91%, and avoid the release of 2.4 million tons of CO“We have learned that the greatest decarbonization impact is most cost-effectively achieved when considered as early as possible in the development and design process,” said NREL Senior Research Engineer Shanti Pless.
“The goal is to solve the 3.8-million-unit housing shortage while addressing both affordability challenges and life-cycle environmental impact of buildings,” said Zoe Kaufman, an NREL research engineer in Communities and Urban Science. “Our guidance for modular product decarbonization in this case study focuses on existing practices and technologies, intended to serve as a template for goal setting and business planning for the industrialized construction industry.
