ZNCD Webinar: How to Design Carbon Neutral Multifamily Buildings
Presented by:
Get ready for a deep dive into how you can design a carbon neutral multifamily building. Well review existing technologies and newer applications that have been tested in the field.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the core concepts of thermodynamics and how passive design can improve a buildings thermal envelope, thus reducing energy demand.
Explore building envelope strategies related to air sealing, insulation installation and other strategies that deliver positive thermal performance.
Understand which solar, mechanical, lighting, and plumbing system & strategies may be best for your project and how they lend to efficiency.
Review modeling options, case studies, and discuss how carbon neutrality does not end after construction.

Presenter:
Moe Fakih, LEED AP (QAD), General B Lic., CCxP, WELL AP, FitWel | Principal
VCA Green | Orange + Oakland
Responsible for overseeing and managing a team of highly skilled project managers offering services that include California green building code, building commissioning, LEED, energy modeling and sustainability programs.
Utilizes general contracting experience (licensed general contractor) and deep code knowledge to help project teams navigate unforeseen challenges and potential scope creep.
Moe is also a Certified Passive House Tradesperson.
Perform return on investment-based enhanced energy modeling, which significantly reduces first costs and reduces potential delays in design.
Once the building is built, Moe and his team perform energy assessment and warranty evaluations, which leads to favorable cost reductions.
Provides guidance and training for building design and construction stakeholders who are navigating green and energy codes through early entitlement phase through to operations and maintenance (Post C of O) phase.
Accomplished speaker and presenter. Hosts educational events to inform architects & developers on recent changes to energy codes and trends in sustainability.
Moe holds a masters degree in urban design with an emphasis in sustainability from San Diego State University.
