good course

by Bill Wagner, Independent Consultant, Wagner Labs 06/21/2021

Great explanation of total system production capability (PV + Storage) and the challenges of load variation especially as it relates to heat (and cooling).

Excellent way to learn about designing zero net-energy buildings and how to avoid construction mistakes.

by Kate Stevens, Contexts: architecture, teaching, translating 05/21/2021

Great course that teaches you how to see both the forest and the trees. It equips you with an understanding of the general building science principles and the ability to locate/interpret/use specific technical resources for real world application.

Very informative

by Judson Brown, Mechanical Engineer, PE, Sandridge Partners, Energy Engineering 05/04/2021

I liked the spreadsheet model you developed based on your experience with PV generation in your own experience in the homes you have lived in and designed. Really powerful feedback from your own experience to development of better systems for houses.

I highly recommend this course. Very useful in helping with how to save energy and become self reliant on

by Karen Curtis 03/25/2021

I really like this class coming from a level that PV??? I don't really think it is worth while. So doubters watch this class. Solar thermal and Solar PV can be important.

by Michael Klement, Architectural Resource, LLC 02/01/2021

This course should be a part of the core curriculum for every architectural college in America. This is foundational information that every architect should have. Marc does a masterful job of bringing together, in one well designed course, a broad spectrum of knowledge, experience and wisdom, with a dash of Marc's wit and humor. For what we are up to at Architectural Resource, this course was spot on. Thank you for your contribution to our industry, Marc. Bravo!

most of us understand the concept of net zero, here we get to explore the next step on Zero energy homes and the option of storage to get there.

by Jill Brigham, Engineer 12/26/2020

Zero Net Energy Buildings presents a thorough look at practical ways we can all use to make homes use less energy. This course brings together building science and modern energy efficient building systems in a step-by-step manner that will be enlightening to anyone from homeowner, architect, and home builder. Great class - highly recommended!
