In recent years, so-called green homes have been the one bright light in an otherwise dismal housing climate. But are these houses truly green, or are they relying instead on gimmicks or false standards of sustainability? This seminar taught by nationally recognized architects and engineers will explore the combination of timeless design methods and recent technological advances in achieving a truly sustainable home for the future. As we experience a critical turning point for the American house, architects, contractors, and homeowners will all benefit from this collaborative seminar.
Learning Objectives:
- Investigate naturally sustainable forms and siting strategies.
- Analyze energy-saving building and wall sections.
- Discuss recent material and technical innovations.
- Identify carbon-neutral residential opportunities.
