Close More

Join us for this two-hour webinar to gain a deeper understanding of building science fundamentals. By helping your customers understand how their home performs, you will be able to guide them towards energy efficiency improvements.

An increasing number of home buyers and sellers are looking to score their homes for energy efficiency. Assessors who attend this training will learn to apply their knowledge of building science terminology while working with customers. Participants will analyze how dynamic flows will affect the performance of a house, and learn to evaluate these homes in order to more effectively discuss home retrofits.

This is the first module in a three-part series:

Module 1: Building Science Fundamentals (Nov. 5)
Module 2: Energy Retrofitting (Nov. 12)
Module 3: Connecting the Home Energy Score and Your Business to the Bigger Picture (Nov. 19)

If you can't make the November dates, you can register for our January webinar series on January 7th, 14th and 21st. Participants can sign up for one or more modules via the registration form below.
