To earn the designation\, attendees must pass a designation exam and have completed and passed prerequisite trainings. \n12 Steps to Affordable Zero Energy Design & Construction\nIt’s generally accepted that improvements to the thermal envelope are fundamental. These include high levels of insulation\, reduction of thermal bridges and advanced air sealing. However\, significant efficiency improvements in heating and cooling equipment and the rapid drop in the cost of rooftop solar electric systems offer new options for cost-effective efficiency packages. There have never been so many ZE options to choose from. This course gives building professionals the knowledge to build ZE homes that are affordable\, durable\, safe\, healthy\, energy efficient\, and comfortable to live in. \n\n\nThe training material is organized into 12 easy steps: \n\nStart with Smart Design\nOrient for Sun Tempering\nOptimize with Energy Modeling\nSuper-seal the Envelope\nSuper-insulate the Envelope\nSelect Optimum Window Efficiency\nEnsure Clean\, Fresh Air\nSpecify High-performance Heating and Cooling\nHeat Water Wisely\nSelect High-Efficiency Lighting\nChoose Efficient Appliances\nPlan for Renewable Energy\n\nEach step describes the most recent developments with a strong emphasis on affordability.
