Learn how to best 'fix what you have'. If you are serious about transformative energy upgrades in existing residential and commercial buildings up to 45,000 square feet this course is right for you.
Marc Rosenbaum's guide to thinking about, calculating, and prioritizing enclosures, mechanical systems, and renewables in new and existing buildings.
In other courses we talk a lot about hydronic heating. This course is about using chilled water to provide cooling - you'll learn how these systems work, situations to avoid, and see some example systems.
A step-by-step guide to designing zero net energy buildings, including energy modeling, architectural drawings, and construction strategies with expert Marc Rosenbaum.
Learn from industry expert Allison Bailes in this free course on building enclosures and controls. This lecture is designed for engineers, architects, builders, trade contractors, and energy raters.
Millions of dollars are now being invested into radiant cooling and heating and thermal comfort research. In this free 1-hour lecture, Robert will take you through the radiant design sequence he has used for 30 years.
This lecture covers just how heat and moisture can move in building assemblies, how to manage both, and the tools that are available to evaluate or predict hygrothermal performance of building assemblies.
In this 32-minute video, Marc Rosenbaum provides an overview of a residential deep energy retrofit project.
