Energy Neutral Design

Energy Neutral Design means creating buildings and other structures in ways that use energy in the most efficient way possible. This means using materials that don't require a lot of energy to make and using things like solar panels or wind turbines to generate power so that buildings don't need to use electricity from the grid. It also means using natural light for lighting, insulating well to keep heat in during winter, and planting trees and shrubs around the building to cool it in the summer months. All of these things help to make buildings more energy efficient and will help save energy in the long run.
