Building industry professionals, please join us for our free ZNE webinar series in November and December 2020. Our team will present best practices for designing and building highly efficient and economical zero net energy homes. The classes were developed as part of GTI’s Affordable Zero Net Energy (ZNE) home project, a collaboration with Habitat for Humanity of San Joaquin County. The project is sponsored by the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the Southern California Gas Company.
Topics will include:
- Designing to Get to ZNE Within Your Budget
- High Performance Building Enclosures
- High Performance HVAC for Affordable Zero-Net-Energy Homes
By attending this series, you will:
- Become knowledgeable about the means of achieving ZNE affordably
- Acquire methods and tools to develop high performance projects rather than business-as-usual
- Learn specific innovations one central-California builder has used to achieve ZNE at costs less than business-as-usual
- Be able to compare a mixed-fuel approach to ZNE with an all-electric approach, objectively assessing the pros and cons of each
