Learning Objectives:

  • Low energy use residential homes being built in Rhode Island and other regions and how high-performance homes help with healthy living.
  • Zero net energy (ZNE) buildings which incorporate efficient design and onsite solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to produce as much energy as they consume will be covered. Along with other high-performance homes that achieve high energy savings compared with standard construction.
