Program Overview
Climate change is making our environment hotter and less comfortable. We are air-conditioning much more than just a generation ago. This should be reflected in how we design and build our homes and buildings. Why are current technology-based green building programs a far cry from the original goals & aspirations of the movement.
As thought leaders, we must rethink our approach, so we have homes that are truly sustainable, resilient, and climate-responsive from the start. Topics explored - more efficient plans, right-sizing, smarter kitchens, lighting flaws, glare-free daylighting, smarter roofs, etc. to ensure healthier living in tune with the climate, so our homes use fewer resources to “live and perform better – by design.
Advanced registration required before 3pm on August 8.
Learning Objectives
Understand the original roots of Energy Star & Green Building that created an international movement.
Discover how common-sense design & building science strategies can make for homes that are more responsive to the environment AND more appealing to the informed buyer.
Learn that thoughtful project programming and design strategies trump the popular and expensive "Green by Gizmo" approach promoted by many in the media today.
Learn how a holistic design approach improves climate-responsiveness, building performance, health and other positive attributes associated with high-performance building.
Prioritize economically sensible energy conservation design & building science strategies by using the "Energy Pyramid" as a guide, among other tools and thought processes.
