Half-Day Training Course Description:
Is the Housing Market Ready for Zero Net-Energy Ready Homes?
Presenters include Sam Rashkin, Chief Architect, DOE Building Technologies Program & Jamie Lyons, Senior Consultant, Newport Partners.
It’s been five years since the current housing industry slow-down began. As time marches on, it’s become increasingly clear the recovery process will be extremely slow. During this difficult business climate, the DOE Challenge Home offers leading builders a timely solution for differentiating their product from the existing homes as well as minimum code new homes. In fact, DOE believes the housing market is ready for a label that makes it easy for consumers to identify zero net-energy ready homes that are so efficient a small renewable energy system can offset most or all annual energy consumption. Further, these homes include outstanding health benefits and significant savings installing solar energy systems in the future.
Constructing zero net-energy ready homes is relatively easy. Ensuring they consistently deliver affordability, comfort, health, safety, durability and quality-construction is the goal of the DOE Challenge Home specifications.
American homebuyers want this level of excellence when they make the largest investment of a lifetime. They just don’t know it’s available and how to get it… yet.
This 3.5-hour seminar will provide builders a comprehensive review of zero net-energy ready home construction including the business case, detailed specifications, and opportunities to be recognized as an industry leader. In the process, attendees will learn the answers to the following questions:
