Net zero energy building by Arte Charpentier Architects

This Net zero energy building is design by Arte Charpentier Architects. For most sustainability-minded architects, a net zero energy building is the holy grail. But Elithis Tower, located in Dijon, France, has surpassed the net zero energy ideal to become the first energy positive office building, meaning it creates more power than it uses. Elithis Tower also houses 330 rooftop solar panels and a solar shield to remove excess heat while allowing natural light to filter in. With a price comparable to that of a traditionally-built structure, Elithis Tower is leading the way in affordable green building.
