The University of Connecticut health care system is partnering with an energy management company in its effort to achieve net zero carbon emissions.

UConn Health's child care center in Farmington is preparing a 12-month pilot program with the company Budderfly.

The company will install high-performance heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The project is funded by Connecticut Innovations, the government's venture capital organization.

The state is aiming for net zero emissions and carbon-free electricity by 2040.
