This webinar was developed for those designers and builders who want to assure a net-zero-energy outcome for their next project.  We will start by covering all the reasons why SIPS are a better choice than conventional framing and other more exotic building methods. Then we will discuss the particulars of design and assembly to help both the novice and the experienced SIPS builder achieve better results than in the past. The proven techniques outlined in this program have been used repeatedly in all climate zones to achieve not only net-zero-energy outcomes, but also to go way below net-zero energy on several homes, even in cold climates. The author and presenter of this webinar has trained numerous other designers and builders in these techniques, and they have in turn earned national recognition for those projects, including several Energy Value Housing Awards, National Green Building Awards, and even one Solar Decathlon entry.
