The Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities, located in Cambridge, MA, has transformed its headquarters, a pre-1940s house, into an ultra-efficient, healthy, positive energy structure known as HouseZero. Through a design-centric strategy and multidisciplinary collaboration, the Center aims to revolutionize the building industry by promoting sustainable, high-performance buildings and cities.
Driven by ambitious performance targets, HouseZero operates with nearly zero energy for heating and cooling, zero electric lighting during the day, and 100 percent natural ventilation, setting a new standard for environmentally conscious building design. The Center's research outcomes directly inform the development of innovative processes, systems, and products to create a more sustainable built environment.
