Empowering Professionals to Build Energy-Efficient, Comfortable, and Cost-Effective Homes—Through Education

When buildings lack energy-efficient design, consequences are inevitable.

Occupants face higher utility bills and uncomfortable living spaces due to inconsistent temperatures
Inefficient homes often suffer from poor indoor air quality, leading to health risks
These structures contribute to unnecessary energy waste and increased carbon emissions, straining environmental resources

Plus, professionals who fail to prioritize energy efficiency can risk non-compliance with evolving codes and gain a negative reputation in an increasingly sustainability-focused market.

Home builders, building code officials, home energy raters, architects, engineers, home inspectors and REALTORS need ongoing, entertaining, relevant, and affordable energy efficiency education so they are equipped to increase the number of energy (and water) efficient homes built in the United States each year.
