The Building Technology Office is offering a new webinar series on getting homes zero-energy ready. The webinars \u2013 sponsored by DOE Challenge Home, a blueprint for these ultra high-performance homes \u2013 feature experts who discuss critical home systems, how they simultaneously save energy and improve comfort, and how to get these systems right.<\/p>\n

Ducts in Conditioned Spaces<\/strong>
\nThursday, March 20, noon \u2013 1:30 p.m. ET<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

With such high performance homes, it\u2019s impossible to justify huge thermal losses from ducts in unconditioned spaces. \u00a0That\u2019s why one of the program\u2019s mandatory specs calls for ducts in conditioned space. \u00a0However \u201cducts in conditioned space\u201d isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all design requirement in DOE Challenge Home. \u00a0Over the last several years, DOE\u2019s Building America research partners have worked out the kinks on a toolkit of duct design strategies. \u00a0In this session, Bill Zoeller, Steven Winter Associates, a leading expert on thermal performance of air, will share the pros and cons of these strategies so you can specify effective distribution systems for any type of project. \u00a0Register here:\u00a0https:\/\/www1.gotomeeting.com\/register\/252839560<\/a><\/p>\n

Comprehensive Building Science<\/strong>
\nWednesday, March 26, noon \u2013 1:30 p.m. ET<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

DOE Challenge Homes aren\u2019t just really energy efficient \u2013 they\u2019re designed and built using solid building science principles. \u00a0Version 3 of the ENERGY STAR Certified Homes program, a prerequisite for every Challenge Home, delivers three key systems that improve comfort, indoor air quality, and durability \u2013 a complete thermal enclosure system, a complete HVAC system, and a complete water management system. In this webinar, Dean Gamble of EPA will cover the building science basics that underlie these key systems, as well as discuss the top three challenges of each system and how to overcome them. \u00a0Register here:\u00a0https:\/\/www1.gotomeeting.com\/register\/19446<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
