INTRO TO PROJECT FROG
Better, Greener, Faster.  Smart.  Project
FROG makes the most technologically advanced,
energy-efficient building systems on the planet. 
Employing novel clean technology across the
construction spectrum, Project FROG aims to
revolutionize an industry rife for innovation by
creating new standards for healthy buildings that
significantly reduce energy consumption and
materials waste.

DEFINE GRID NEUTRAL
A site that will generate as much electrical
energy as it uses as measured over the course of
a year.
It is also possible to be grid positive which
means a site will not only generate all the
energy it needs to operate, but will put excess
energy back into the grid.

WHY GO ZERO?
High-performance and sustainable schools reduce
energy and resource consumption, and create
better and healthier environments for our
students to learn.

SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Each year it costs over 1 billion and generates
more than two million tons of CO2 emissions to
operate the gt1,000 school districts in the State
of California. A grid neutral environment could
save 21.5 million per year and as much as 30
thousand tons of CO2 emissions.

THINK BEFORE YOU BUY
Yes, you can achieve energy neutrality by
installing on a bunch of solar panels to your
building. But wait! By analyzing the most
cost effective and energy efficient designs, you
can lower your energy use first then add pvs.
