Session 3 – Many New Solar-Powered Cooling and Dehumidification Innovations
Superior Alternatives to Expensive Compressor-Based Air Conditioning
Session 4 – Innovative Building Materials and Superior Envelope Construction Techniques
Aggressive Objectives and Cost Effective New Superior Solutions
Challenging Questions and Answers

Due to the large volume of material to be presented, and the limited time available, questions will be submitted in writing (before or during the workshop), organized into topical groups, and dealt with at the end of the day, so as not to disrupt the scheduled flow of information during the body of the workshop. Participants are invited to submit questions of particular concern to Larry Hartweg by email ZEDmaster@ZeroEnergyDesign.com at any time before the Three Decades Of Lessons Learned Workshop begins. Hartweg will attempt to answer questions by email, and include answers in the workshop materials. He will be available throughout the conference for social interactions and technical discussions.

Larry Hartweg built his own first 5,000 sq .ft. Zero Energy Home in 1979. He swam in his 40,000-gallon solar-heated indoor pool in January with -10o F snow on the ground, and NO ENERGY BILLS. His Zero Energy Design kept his home in the 70’s when it was 110o outside. His attic never rose above 90o on the hottest days of the hot summer. When Jimmy Carter created solar energy tax credits, Hartweg became the largest exhibitor and most popular speaker at the Nation Energy Expositions. He has been selected to present a workshop “Three Decades of Lessons Learned” at the DOE / ORNL International Buildings Conference in Clearwater Florida in 2007

Did you know, President Bush has one of the Greenest homes in the USA?? He believes in what we do, regardless to partisan politics. Everyone should to!

Workshop Materials available in CD-ROM

You can Purchase a CD-ROM containing all presentation slides and photographs, 500+ supplemental Future Energy slides, short 3D movies of current Zero Energy Building Projects, and a .pdf file of the 800+ page book: Zero Energy Design – Abundant Energy In Harmony With Nature, which answers many important questions that you may not have thought to ask yet. The ZED CD-ROM is a comprehensive collection of Three Decades Of Lessons Learned, which includes innovative material and experience not available from any other source. Workshop participants are invited to have a free one-hour telephone conference with Larry after attending the workshop. He will be available to socialize, discuss expanding international Zero Energy possibilities, and his aggressive Vision for the near future during the rest of the conference.

Larry Hartweg

In 1979, Larry Hartweg constructed his own 5,000 sq. ft. near-Zero Energy Home, and swam in its 38-foot 90o F indoor pool, with no heating bills when there was 10o snow outside. It also kept itself cool and comfortable when the peak outside temperature broke a record at 110o F. The passive solar heating AND cooling design effort was a relatively EASY task for this unique Second Generation Energy Research Scientist. He quickly became the largest exhibitor and most-popular speaker at the National Energy Expositions. The meaningful Trade Mark for Zero Energy Design, Inc. is:

“Abundant Energy In Harmony With NatureTM”

Larry has designed hundreds of Near-Zero Energy (and no-carbon-emission) buildings, constructed from Australia to the USA to Canada. 70% to 90% of why they work so well is Superior Energy Efficiency Technique. He calls his unprecedented insight, success, and design pattern heuristics “Holistic Systems Engineering,” which are documented in great detail in his 800-page “Zero Energy Design” book, and over 400 slides in the Three Decades Of Lessons Learned DOE / ORNL full-day workshop, December 7, 2007.  ZED is arguably the NUMER ONE SOLUTION to the NUMBER ONE PROBLEM facing the world today.  Larry’s Compelling Vision For A Bright 21st Century is now far beyond what he proved to be Very Cost Effective Decades Ago.

Hartweg briefly introduces realistic near-future alternative energy source developments, and then elaborates in detail about easy-to-implement Zero Energy Design ideas, new materials, and his own design patterns throughout the ZED book and Three Decades Of Lessons Learned presentation.



As a soon to be Energy Research Scientist Larry constructed, understood, and presented a nuclear cloud chamber. It demonstrated Einstein’s Unified Field Theory “Weak Force”, which describes nuclear radioactivity. His university also had a grant to develop the hydrogen fuel cell for use in cars. He did post-graduate leading-edge studies at Stanford University, and directed corporate development funding for Stanford. Today, he maintains his interest in Quantum Physics and Alternative Energy Research, but his primary focus is

Cost-Effective, Pragmatic, Zero Energy Design implementation – Super-Efficient Abundant-Energy Buildings that inexpensively produce as much power as they consume.

He explains that:
“America does NOT have an energy technology problem today. What we lack is agility and education about Zero Energy Design principles that were clearly demonstrated years ago.” Compelling Zero Energy Buildings are challenging to design, but relatively easy to construct – They are just VERY DIFFERENT from traditional industry inefficiencies. Some can even cost LESS per square foot than conventional construction – as low as $60 per sq. ft. in low-income-home-addition quantities.

"Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought."
  - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Research Scientist

Hartweg’s professional developments have generated Multiple Billions of Dollars in Revenue, while lowering costs for consumers, and helping to improve the Earth’s delicate environment. You will be very pleased with his unequaled comprehensive compilation of Three Decades Of Lessons Learned. Many of Hartweg’s distinctive Zero Energy Design specifics are available from no other source. The most powerful lesson that Larry’s father taught him has motivated his aggressive successful life:
