EEBA Academy

In order to earn the EEBA Zero Energy Building Professional Designation, one must take and pass:

• Houses That Work
• High Performance Mechanicals
• HERS Associate

PLUS this course, How to Cost-Effectively Build Zero Energy Homes

Building and energy codes are pushing builders beyond traditional minimum code wood-framed construction into a more building science-oriented ‘high-performance’ home that requires testing for verification to meet specific standards.

• Installing HPWHs in new, all-electric homes.
• Why builders are installing and love HPWH.
• What are the benefits and challenges of installing HPWH in new homes? 
• Are builders modifying their home designs to fit and take advantage of HPWH?
• What are homeowners saying when they buy homes with HPWHs? 
• Any lessons that can be applied to installing HPWHs in existing homes?

In this webinar, we will teach attendees about the specifics of pre-drywall inspections and testing. We will discuss the value of third-party pre-drywall inspections and testing for builders and raters, and how they can result in reduced callbacks. We will also examine how this aspect of the rating process has become increasingly important for consistency and defensibility for builders who choose an ERI Path for code compliance.
