Come learn about Energy Democracy and the built environment, including a Shift Zero update on the 20 by 2020 Building Challenge and HDC’s aligned Exemplary Buildings Pilot for Affordable Housing.

Denise Fairchild, President of Emerald Cities Collaborative, will lead a conversation and workshop on building the movement for energy democracy. The event features an update from Zack Semke and Steve Gelb on the partnership between the 20 by 2020 Building Challenge and HDC's new Exemplary Buildings Pilot, working to chart a pathway to ultra-energy efficiency that is equitable and financially sustainable for affordable housing providers.

The 20 by 2020 Building Challenge is a campaign by Shift Zero, Passive House NW, Housing Development Consortium, King County GreenTools, and other partners to promote the development of at least 20 Passive House and net zero buildings, 20,000 square feet or larger in size, by 2020 in King County.
