Build a Better House Training: Renovations Course, February 17, Auburn, ME, 7:30am-5:30pm ET
Event Description
During the Maine Indoor Air Quality Council, participants will learn how to optimize energy efficiency measures as well as minimize the risk of moisture and indoor air quality problems in new and existing homes. The trainings further emphasize this critical concept: high performance homes are not hard to construct, and the extra efficiency measures have a very reasonable payback – both for the builder and the homeowner.
The workshops include illustrations of current Building and Energy Codes (IECC 2015, IRC 2015, ASHRAE 62.2 2016, and ASTM E-1465-2008); Energy Star Guidelines; Zero Energy Ready Guidelines; and Passiv-Haus Guidelines.

Turner and David Johnston, provide a perfect blend of building science technique with practical, pound-the-nails guidance.
At each session, participants will learn:
