The Vermont Green Building Network (VGBN) and the Vermont Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIAVT) is presenting "Deep Energy Retrofits," a workshop for builders, architects and others, June 19 in Montpelier.
As a follow up to the "Toward Net-Zero Energy Homes" series, this workshop will focus on the deep energy retrofits of homes and other building types.
They'll cover what the nature of the challenge is, where energy goes in homes, and look at the underlying building science. Air barriers and insulation detailing will be illustrated through case study examples.
They'll look at mechanical systems for low load retrofits as well.
