Do building materials have a second life? Ted Reiff, Founder and President of The ReUse People, will talk about the benefits of using recycled building materials and which materials can and cannot be re-used. Through case studies of new construction projects that made use of recycled materials, Ted will give a complete overview of the deconstruction and re-use process.
Reducing Electrical Baseloads 12/5 | 5:30 pm – 8 pm | East Bay | Register Now
Learn about the value of conducting residential electricity audits to reduce waste and understand consumption in the home. Chris Hunt, Founder and Principal of PowerDown, will discuss actual case studies, outline the techniques used to conduct an audit, explain the types of energy monitors and dashboards on the market today and list product recommendations.
Are you prepared to implement the impending new building requirements? The new energy code is slated to be approximately 25% more rigorous across climate zones to meet California's goal for all new homes to be Net Zero by 2020. Updates to CALGreen will likely include provisions for residential additions and major remodels, and GreenPoint Rated is aligning its program with these code changes.
As a residential building professional, it is important to be prepared. Be among the first to learn what you can expect. Nathan Krantz, Build It Green's Director of Technical Services, will give you an overview and get you started on the next generation of green homes!
This webinar qualifies for 1.5 CEUs toward your Build It Green recertification requirements.
