Even so there is a need for us to conserve even more water. The construction community has an opportunity to further reduce residential water use in ways that do not feel like conservation to customers. In this class, Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance looks at changing the way hot water is stored and delivered to the tap in residential buildings. The theory behind our, 9:00 am - 11:00 am I-REN C&S Training: Embodied Carbon & Passive House August 27 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am PDT I-REN C&S Training: Embodied Carbon & Passive House Course Description: The Passive House standard has empowered design and construction teams to dramatically lower operational energy use and carbon emissions while increasing comfort, health, and resilience. Consequently, many Passive House practitioners seek to expand their climate-mitigation impact by systematically reducing a building's embodied carbon emissions. In this course, we’ll deconstruct the meaning of embodied carbon, the frameworks for understanding it, and its role in building delivery. We’ll look at the tools, the strategies, and case studies.
