Description
Recognizing the growing demand to make residential building energy efficient, an increasing number of developers , architects, and builders are embracing Passive House building standards.
But others are skeptical that Passive House and net zero residential buildings can be built at a reasonable cost, look beautiful and cut energy use by the promised 40% - 60%. In this webinar, we will present evidence about recently-built developments. We will discuss what was hard, what was easy, and the lessons learned by teams that build Passive House and net zero buildings. We will also describe the significant financial incentives both for building Passive House buildings, and for attending training sessions about high-performance all-electric single-family homes.
The webinar is targeted for those in the development, building and real estate sectors but the content could be of interest to anyone looking to understand opportunities and obstacles towards making single and multi-family homes more energy efficient.
The webinar will include a Q & A.
