Houses That Work for Existing Homes - Remodeling for Energy Efficiency
This workshop will explore cost-effective opportunities to implement energy efficient and green technologies and strategies into remodeling projects for existing homes. The fundamentals of building science - air, heat and moisture flow – will be applied to help participants understand how elements of a house all work together as a system and how this knowledge can be used by remodelers to reduce risks and find the most cost-effective energy improvements for individual homes. The workshop format recognizes that many remodeling projects are done as specific and discreet projects such as window replacement, roofing, residing or a kitchen remodel. Participants will learn to identify energy efficient and green opportunities for specific sectors of the remodeling industry of interest to them, but always in the context of whole house opportunities and embracing building science best practice. Throughout the workshop, strategies, techniques and products will be demonstrated that simultaneously improve the comfort, durability, safety, health and energy efficiency of existing homes. The workshop will also help participants identify key process changes that are required to take advantage of green opportunities and the resources available to them to assist in those process changes such as utility, industry and government programs, supportive manufacturers, energy raters and other training opportunities.
By the end of the session participants will have a thorough understanding of how to implement energy efficiency improvements properly and cost effectively into every remodeling project they undertake.
