New State of the Art Zero Energy Research Laboratory

The University of North Texas is leading the charge to produce a quality green-collar workforce by building a state-of-the-art Zero Energy Research Laboratory, where students and faculty will get first-hand experience with sustainable energy technologies of tomorrow.

The facility is designed to test emerging technologies that allow building systems to have a net-zero consumption of energy, and once completed will be the first of its kind in the United States. The UNT Board of Regents approved the facility on June 17 ( Friday ), and construction on the lab is slated to begin in July at UNT’s Discovery Park, a 300-acre research campus.
