Net Zero Energy homes are a rapidly growing segment of the construction industry with significant implications for residential designers, developers, and builders. This webinar will cover zero energy basics, trends in this housing sector to date, and resulting changes to the housing industry that are likely to emerge in the next five to ten years. We will also discuss lessons learned by the pioneers, barriers to adoption, and resources available to shorten the learning curve on zero energy design and construction – which is the future.
