Construct-Ed's video: Zero Made Easy DOE Zero Energy Ready Home Specifications Part 2 Preview

Full course - https://www.construct-ed.com/course/zero-made-easy-doe-zero-energy-ready-home-specifications-part-2/ When it comes to home performance, the HERS Index Score is the most widely recognized metric similar to an “MPG” … for homes. But a car’s performance doesn’t end with its energy rating…and neither does a home’s. For example, comfort, health, safety, and durability come to mind. DOE has established a label for Zero Energy Ready Homes that recognizes it’s critical to ensure both energy efficiency and high-performance to address challenges like delivering comfort with ultra-low heating and cooling loads, providing reliable moisture management with advanced enclosures, and controlling indoor air quality with air-tight construction. Efficiency is not nearly enough. And then once these challenges are addressed, there is a special opportunity to make an ultra-efficient home zero energy ready with simple no-cost or low-cost details to accommodate a future PV system. Energy efficiency and high-performance plus solar ready is the home of the future. In this session, you’ll learn how the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home specifications provide a systems-based path to deliver this home today.
