Houses that Work Seminars

July 2003

You won't want to miss this opportunity to increase your knowledge base, reduce costly callbacks, and learn how to improve your bottom line in this one-day educational session designed for the building professional. Learn cutting-edge concepts from the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America Program. Apply key research findings and strategies to the way you build to significantly improve the performance and efficiency of your homes.

Offered in collaboration with the Energy & Environmental Building Association (EEBA), Houses That Work is a concise look at the house-as-a-system and the reengineering processes for improved building performance. Learn from the thousands of homes successfully built using Building America practices and view case studies that demonstrate improved performance and efficiency by as much as 50% with minimal increase in cost. Regional examples and case studies will provide you with concepts and applications that you can immediately apply to your business.
