Net Zero Zone Returning to Greenbuild

Dallas, TX, June 9, 2015 – Informa Exhibitions U.S., Construction and Real Estate, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and EMerge Alliance have announced that the Net Zero Zone will return to the 2015 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo taking place at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC, November 18 and 19.

The Net Zero Zone will be held entirely in the expo hall and will feature products and services of participating site-based power suppliers and managers; products and services of participating exhibitors in the Net Zero Zone; a “live” Microgrid showcase area on the show floor; and a networking lounge adjacent to the showcase and Net Zero Zone.

The official launch of the Net Zero Zone, in a ceremony called “Greenbuild Unplugged”, will take place November 18 at 11:00 a.m. in the Net Zero Zone, and all Greenbuild participants are invited to attend.

Designed using EMerge Alliance standards for the hybrid use of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power in buildings, the Net Zero Zone showcases the efficiency, reliability and resiliency of hybrid microgrids, systems of on-site electric power generation, storage and distribution that can operate either in combination with the local utility grid or in isolation from it. Booths in the Net Zero Zone will demonstrate the seamless capability of semi-autonomously operating both on, off and in combination with the local utility grid.
