School Becomes Net-Zero Energy Building, VT
The Putney School, a college preparatory boarding high school in southern Vermont, cut the ribbon Saturday on its 16,800 square foot net-zero energy field house that will produce as much energy as it uses over the course of a year. The Putney School Field House is the nation’s first net-zero energy secondary school building and Vermont’s first commercial net-zero energy building. Part of the ‘net’ energy balance is drawing from the grid during the winter months and feeding the grid during the summer months.
