A Zero Net Energy (ZNE) campus is an energy-efficient campus where, on a source energy basis, the actual annual consumed energy is less than or equal to the on-site renewable generated energy. The strategy to achieve a ZNE campus is to first reduce the campus's energy consumption through energy efficiency projects, and then install renewable energy technology. SMCCCD is currently focused on the energy efficiency side of ZNE, ensuring that District buildings run as efficiently as possible before sizing future renewable energy installations.
