This designation acknowledges programs preparing students for 21st-century careers with a curriculum promoting clean energy building practices. As stated on the US DOE website, “the Zero Energy Design Designation program distinguishes post-secondary academic programs that teach best practices of zero energy design and require students to apply those concepts in zero energy design projects. The designation lasts for three years, after which programs may apply to renew.” To learn more about the ZEDD program, please visit: https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/us-doe-zero-energy-design-designation-programs
The effort for securing the prestigious designation was spearheaded by Dr. Haleh Moghaddasi who teaches studio and seminar courses that advance the school’s dedication to sustainable design.
As aptly put by Dr. Moghaddasi, "together, we are fostering a brighter, greener future, one student at a time."
