Core Webinar: Best of Core at 91ý Annual Conference; Championing Net-Zero Energy for Your Library

91ý

CHICAGO—Join Core on October 31, 2023, at 1 p.m. CT for the webinar “Best of Core at 91ý Annual Conference: Championing Net-Zero Energy for Your Library.” Libraries, as civic institutions, have a responsibility to embody the values they promote in their communities. A Net-Zero Energy library building is a way of demonstrating a commitment to long-term sustainability. This program, structured for audiences of any experience level, uses a case study framework to articulate the sustainable strategies used in two Net-Zero Energy public library facilities. One is the Charlotte & William Bloomberg Medford Public Library, a 45,000 square foot new construction building serving an urban population in Massachusetts. The other is the Howard Lake Library, a 6,700 square foot new construction branch of the Great River Regional Library, replacing a 43-year-old facility in this rural community outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The panel will share insights into the process of exploring, evaluating, and implementing high performance construction, sharing commonalities and differences.
