3rd-party verification through ECC measures is a great way to improve energy performance and, more to the point, meet the Title 24 Energy code. This is the second part of a 2-part series, where we’ll cover what architects and builders need to know to successfully integrate ECC measures into design and construction related to HVAC […]

This course is designed for forward-thinking home and business owners, builders, and architects who want to take control of their energy future and build truly resilient buildings. Renewable energy systems with solar and battery at home have two major benefits: (1) store the solar generation for use during high-priced times of day; and (2) keeping […]

Load calculations and duct design have been required by the code for many code cycles but few building departments know what to ask for or how to check it, therefore enforcement has been very poor. This class will help building department understand the importance of asking for load calcs and duct design as required by […]

Bring your questions about airtightness and ventilation, whether they’re general or tied to a specific project. This open discussion is a chance to explore airtightness strategies and materials, ventilation system design, centralized versus decentralized HRVs, and how tighter construction affects comfort, indoor air quality, and overall building performance. Whether you’re working through a challenging detail, […]
