Eversource’s Zero Net Energy Services create pathway for green future

MANCHESTER — With commercial buildings accounting for more than 22 percent of the state’s carbon emissions, Eversource is offering developers and building owners a path to energy savings and carbon reduction through its new construction services for Zero Net Energy buildings. Building design is one of several sectors where Eversource is implementing innovative initiatives to help achieve aggressive carbon-reduction goals, and ZNE buildings are 50 percent -70 percent more efficient than a typical building – generating on- or off-site renewable energy, such as solar, that is greater than the total amount of energy the building consumes.

“Efficient design reduces energy usage and increases the value and comfort of a building over the course of its lifetime,” said Eversource Energy Efficiency Consultant Mike Loughlin. “As a catalyst for clean energy, we’re committed to bringing more clean, affordable energy to our customers and to helping reduce the region’s carbon footprint. Zero Net Energy plays an integral part in reducing carbon emissions and creating a sustainable future, providing valuable new opportunities for our customers to save money and energy.”
