Spain has a population of 47 million people, 12% of whom are immigrants. Significant events in Spain's history include the 1992 Universal Expo in Seville, the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and Spain winning the 2010 World Cup. Important Spanish figures include artists like Dalí, Miró, Velázquez, Goya, and Picasso, as well as author Miguel de Cervantes. Spain was part of the Roman Empire and the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba during the Middle Ages before the Christian Reconquest. In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs completed the Reconquest of Spain and expelled the Jews. Spain then built a vast global empire in the 16th-17th

Join us as Finegold Alexander presents the study for the Lowell Trial Court, a 250,000 SF state courthouse designated by Gov. Patrick’s Zero Net Energy Building Task Force as one of three public demonstration projects addressing the challenge of designing public buildings to high sustainability standards.
The engineering components of the study involved proposals for energy reduction and on-site production, investigated through a multitude of computer models and cost-to-benefits charts and analysis. Architecture and architects must change. Architectural form is a critical element in achieving any sustainable goals, including zero net energy. This session will look at the Lowell Trial Court design process and the iterative schemes the team produced. We will discuss building massing, orientation, urban context and all the elements we always address in every project. Now we find our attitudes toward these traditional design criteria are influenced by the integration of sustainable design. Design for zero net energy caused this team to think and collaborate differently with consultants, client and user groups.
A zero-energy building, also known as a zero net energy (ZNE) building, net-zero energy building (NZEB), or net zero building, is a building with zero net energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site,or in other definitions by renewable energy sources elsewhere.These buildings consequently contribute less overall greenhouse gas to the atmosphere than similar non-ZNE buildings. They do at times consume non-renewable energy and produce greenhouse gases, but at other times reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas production elsewhere by the same amount.
