Most of the real obstacles to creating net-zero energy homes are based on mental models, not technologies, yet we typically focus on technological solutions. What is hidden in plain sight that gets in the way of producing these high-performance homes? Attend this webinar to learn how conventional design processes create impediments to producing net-zero energy homes. What can we do differently to produce better results? This webinar will help you develop new mental models to overcome those impediments. We will zero in on:
· Design fundamentals: the simplest things are overlooked
· Cost: how we think about cost is hugely influential … for better or worse
· Collaboration: untapped opportunities and new resources
· Occupants: planning for the unknown
