Decarbonizing Homes
As the demand for more sustainable homes intensifies, architects and builders are increasingly driven by state and federal incentives to reduce the carbon footprint of their homes and to tap into the national push towards electrification. Navigating the complex decision-making process to ensure the best performance of a home that delivers real environmental and economic results can be daunting. It doesn't have to be. In this course renowned building science expert Marc Rosenbaum offers you a clear roadmap for decarbonizing existing homes based on his own specific process and experience. Through this course you will gain a comprehensive understanding of what decarbonization is and how it applies to an existing project. You'll learn how to assess homes accurately, develop an appropriate retrofit plan and how to make the most of renewable energy systems to successfully meet a project's performance and comfort goals.
