SUMMARY:Zero Energy Homes: Updates & Cost Effective Approaches Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A rapidly increasing number of architects and builders in Oregon are ahead of the curve and building homes to Zero Energy (ZE) and Zero Energy Ready (ZER) standards\, and have been doing so for many years. Oregon also recently announced a proposed zero energy ready standard for the 2020 code. The question is\, how can this be achieved cost effectively?  \nJoin us for this free 1-hour webinar and gain valuable info on the latest developments and construction approaches to ZE & ZER construction. \nAttendees will benefit from learning about: \n\nAvailable Energy Trust EPS incentives through new Net Zero and Energy Smart Home offerings\nSpotlights on three spec builders who are achieving ZER in today’s market\nMain differences between various ZE & ZER certifications programs in our region\nOregon’s ‘Zero Energy Ready Residential Building Code’ that is anticipated to go into effect Oct. 1\, 2020\nTwo most common pathways to cost-effective ZER homebuilding\nHow gas-heated homes can qualify for ZE & ZER certification\nUpcoming one-day Zero Energy Homes trainings being offered this April in Hood River\, Portland\, Medford & Bend\n\nAdvanced heat pump technology\, lighting\, and solar PV options are challenging the old zero energy paradigm of investments in air sealing\, insulation\, and expensive window upgrades. Help educate your clients on what will really help them save energy versus what might drive the cost of construction out of reach. \nAttend this free 1-hour webinar and learn the different interpretations of what ZE & ZER mean and how spec builders are currently achieving it in the Pacific Northwest. \nQuestions? Contact Heather Kendall at hkendall@earthadvantage.org or 503-968-7160 x20.
