Your High Performance Home
Lecture Series
Cut your
Electric bills by 30% on your existing home,
or up to 70% on your newly built home while
increasing the indoor air quality and
comfort level and reap the financial
benefits in three to five years. Build
a home that will last 100 years with minimal
maintenance, maximum utility, and reduced
intrusion on the landscape. These
benefits are readily achievable. Learn
about materials, equipment and
specifications for your builder to reduce
energy usage, keep toxic chemicals out and enhance your home's durability and
resistance to weather. Know the
benefits of alternative structural systems
such as ICF's, metal framing and Structural
Insulated Panels (SIPs). Learn
critical specifications for your
air-conditioning system, things you should
demand from your contractor and more.
