Wisconsin Public Radio 2 Wisconsin Schools Moving to Net-Zero Energy
Posted by Miron Construction
In Dane County, Forest Edge Elementary students and teachers will soon return to what the New Buildings Institute called one of the largest “all-electric” buildings in North America.
And a middle school in the Fox Valley is hoping to open a similar school next year.
The elementary school is Wisconsin’s first net-zero energy school, according to the institute. The school, which opened in 2020, is in Fitchburg and part of the Oregon School District.
“We produce more (electricity) than the amount that we use in a year,” said Andy Weiland, business manager of the district.
