In this CE watch party featuring a previously recorded webinar by Charles Leahy of Eco‑Panels, you’ll explore continuous insulation and offsite panelization strategies that create high‑performance building envelopes. You’ll see how tighter envelopes improve energy efficiency, comfort, and resilience, while simplifying code compliance and shortening construction timelines.
This interactive “Coffee With Bernie” session dives into how early, open collaboration with interior designers preserves your creative vision while giving interior designers the freedom to enrich space with texture, color, and detail. You’ll be asked to bring real projects, share your screen, and discuss your biggest design challenges in a peer‑to‑peer environment.
This High‑Performance Homes Team roundtable focuses on passive survivability—the idea that a home should keep occupants safe and reasonably comfortable even when the grid goes down during extreme heat, cold, or disaster events. You’ll dig into the building envelope as a “thermal battery,” heat avoidance and passive cooling, passive solar heating, and steps toward practical grid independence. We look forward to seeing you online. |
