Award-winning Sturgeon Bay architect Virge Temme will present an overview of high performance homes, including Net Zero Energy buildings, which produce sufficient renewable energy on site to offset energy use entirely.

Buildings contribute 35 to 40 percent of atmospheric carbon dioxide, so reducing their carbon footprints can help slow global temperature rise, which is increasingly tied to superstorms, flooding, drought, fires, food scarcity, dangerous health effects and migration.

Temme is a leader in green building design and in 2016 received the national Women in Sustainability Leadership Award. She is a featured speaker, panelist and author on green architecture and sustainable design.
