This final webinar in the series pulls it all together, discussing where do we need to go from here? It introduces some new concepts, looks at disruptive technology challenges, as well as the broader view beyond NZ. We conclude with the question "Why build the 100-year home?"

This 1924 Colonial home had fallen into severe disrepair before coming up for sale. As part of the muchneeded renovation, the new homeowners (two Steven Winter Associates, Inc. employees) wanted to eliminate onsite combustion and produce as much of their operating electricity as possible. Other goals included lower embodied energy materials and a healthy indoor environment. LEED v4.1 for Homes offered one platform to address energy, health, and materials. The home was gutted down to the foundation, framing, and floors before the year-long renovation. After the first 8 months of occupancy (July-February), the home produced 14% more energy than it consumed.

This free webinar will help you to save a lot of money and cut your carbon footprint. In addition, all attendees will receive a free electronic version of David Green's highly-acclaimed book Zero Carbon Home.

The Ultimate Z.E.N. Home is designed to meet the challenges of healthy living, working and learning from home, carbon free living, net zero energy and battery energy storage. This session covers how the home responds to the COVID home buyer’s desire for safety and security while living in a state-of-the-art home.
