Advanced High Performance Building: Best Practices for Climate Zones

What It's About

When it comes to high performance home design and construction, the principles of building science remain constant, while their application is determined by a project’s location. This course explains building science principles and demonstrates how to cost-effectively apply them to home building practices and construction techniques to increase the efficiency, performance, comfort and durability of a home in each climate zone.

As a graduate of this course, participants will be able to:

• Examine how building envelopes can be optimized for each climate zone to maximize home performance in remodeling projects.
• Review the benefits of systems based design and construction and how to properly implement these practices in a building project.
• Apply building science principles to building projects to maximize home performance and comfort.
• Identify the best climate zone-specific building practices based on building science and systems based design principles.

This course qualifies for:

• 6.0 CE for AIBD
• 6 LUs for AIA
• 6 CE for all NAHB Designations except HCCP
