Regenerative Design Workshop Series Kicks Off In Two Weeks with Achieving Net-Zero Energy
In connection with this year's update process to incorporate regenerative design principles into our statewide Green Built Homes certification program, our nonprofit is launching a new monthly series of in-depth, inspirational workshops through the fall and winter of 2019, which are aimed at educating and engaging the community in regenerative design.
This series starts in two weeks on Wednesday, Aug. 21 with a workshop on Achieving Net-Zero Energy led by Amy Musser of Vandemusser Design and Emily Boyd of Mountain Sun Building & Design.
This workshop will provide insight into net-zero energy homes, with topics including:
◘ What makes a home net-zero energy?
◘ What special planning is necessary?
◘ How does energy conservation and education and occupant behavior fit into the plan?
We will discuss how to achieve the greatest energy efficiency with building systems such as insulation, heating, cooling, hot water, and ventilation, as well as essential ways solar energy will help you reach net zero. A local case study will show how the whole process comes together for a successful project.
