How do you get an existing home to net zero carbon?

$40

This session will present a systematic approach to assessing residential remodeling projects for decarbonization opportunities, viewed through the lens of a Northern California custom home renovation. The project incorporated electric replacements for all natural gas appliances, a total HVAC swap, a solar array, and battery energy storage, along with an innovative approach to upgrading the building’s thermal enclosure to reduce heating and cooling loads while improving comfort. Driven by the drought-prone location and local water supply constraints, advanced water conservation measures are also featured.

Credits: 1 AIA HSW + 1 GBCI (USGBC/CAGBC) + 1 AIBD Primary + 1 Net Zero (ZNCD) + 1 Sustainable Design + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA + 1 Climate Action (OAA)
