You want to show up to work every day with the tools, skills, and knowledge to support your organization in improving the energy (and water) efficiencies of buildings. But that work is challenging because you need to know:
Energy codes and policies
The most innovative processes and products
National programs to support your work
It can be hard to know where to look for accurate and reliable training so you can perform your best.
Introducing our High Performance Home Master Class Series -Â On Demand
This 6-session comprehensive webinar training program will build your knowledge of building science and energy efficiency for homes.Â
Throughout the sessions, you will learn:
- The basics of building science, helping you to become more expert in your knowledge of how buildings work "as a system."
- Building code requirements for building ducts in conditioned space, with special emphasis on "unvented attics."
- Key elements of the IECC and IRC, so you can be confident in designing, building, and inspecting to the code's requirements.
- What you need to include in a home to maximize energy efficiency, durability, performance, and comfort for the homeowner.
Plus, this program includes CEUs through ASHI, BPI, ICC, and RESNET upon completion!

 What’s Inside the High Performance Home Master Class Series - On Demand
The program includes 6 entertaining and educational training sessions, including:
Becoming a Building Science Expert
Discover the fundamentals of building science and how buildings function as interconnected systems. This training equips designers, builders, and inspectors with essential knowledge to improve energy efficiency, comfort, durability, and safety in homes.
Maximizing Performance with Unvented Attics
Learn actionable insights into insulation options, design strategies, energy code requirements, and best practices for putting HVAC ducts “inside conditioned space” in order to maximize the energy efficiency, comfort, and durability of homes. This session unpacks the benefits of building with ducts inside a conditioned space, with particular emphasis on the most popular way to accomplish this, building an unvented attic and incorporating ducts inside the thermal envelope.
Energy Code Mastery (IECC 2021)
This session offers a practical breakdown of the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), highlighting key pathways to compliance and specific energy efficiency requirements for different climate zones. You’ll gain clarity on inspections, testing, and best practices for navigating code requirements, reducing challenges during design, construction, and inspections.
Energy Program Knowledge Builder
This class provides a user-friendly overview of key IECC elements, with insights from the IRC, to help you confidently design, build, and inspect to code requirements. Learn the different compliance pathways, climate-specific requirements, and essential energy efficiency tests and inspections. Gain practical strategies to streamline plan checks and field inspections, making the process easier for designers, builders, and code officials.
Energy Efficiency Products Decoded (Part 1) - Building Envelope
Understand how to optimize the building envelope, the critical barrier controlling heat flow in and out of homes, by exploring popular and innovative products and materials, learning about their evolution, and discovering how to maximize energy efficiency and durability while balancing performance with practical design choices.
Energy Efficiency Products Decoded (Part 2) - Building Systems
This session dives into the systems that power our homes—HVAC, water, lighting, appliances, solar, battery storage, and more—revealing how to optimize them for maximum energy efficiency, comfort, and durability. You will explore innovative products, practical solutions, and emerging technologies to improve performance, save resources, and enhance sustainability in everyday living.
