Presentation begins promptly at 12:00 pm

 

 

This presentation is focused on the construction of single family homes that produce the same amount of energy as they consume. We will discuss the basic design elements of Zero Energy Homes (ZEH) and examine several case studies with the focus on advanced building methods to achieve construction on budget with high energy performance in NY State climate. We will also address both the opportunities and challenges created by the operational environment – consumers, contractors, real estate agents, market, culture and polices; and contrast US and Worldwide systems.
  • Construction Methods – describe most current available materials and advanced construction methods for ZEH in US and abroad
  • Sustainable Construction on Budget – identify major components of successful design and construction that achieve high energy performance on budget
  • Collective Wisdom – conclude on what practice could be applied in NY State, based on available worldwide practices and products, while having in mind climate, market and building codes
