Lowering HERS Scores Through Smarter Building Decisions - CEC.03383

What happens when a project isn’t hitting the HERS score you’re aiming for? In this interactive, choose-your-own-adventure-style course, participants will work through real-world building scenarios, make decisions, and see how different choices affect a home’s energy performance and HERS score. Along the way, builders will explore which strategies offer the greatest opportunities for improvement and how to navigate tradeoffs when design, budget, site conditions, or other project constraints make a lower score harder to achieve.

A Zoom link and additional instructions will be emailed to all registrants.
