Welcome to California, Where Zero Energy is the Worst Home Allowed by Law

Get on the path to delivering better zero energy ready homes at lower cost.

Approximately eight states are planning or implementing zero-energy residential building codes. Dozens more will be transitioning to the 2021 IECC, which is equivalent to a zero energy ready enclosure (e.g., baseline for DOE Zero Energy Ready Home). 

California is well under way with their new zero energy code impacting over 100,000 new homes built each year. We can see the future; the zero energy housing train has left the station. And you know what they say about the future. If you don’t adapt, you’ll be left behind. 

The good news is there are impressive opportunities to adapt today, with $100,000s of cost savings and added value possible for zero energy ready homes. The key is integrating comprehensive best practices for optimizing community, design, performance, and quality. 

Yes, all these key homeowner user experiences are interrelated. And we can no longer afford to ignore these opportunities as a massive attainability imperative sweeps across America. 

Welcome to Housing 2.0, a detailed framework for consistently delivering better zero energy ready homes at lower cost. In other words, a path to industry-leading user experience. And research shows user experience leading companies consistently outperform laggards by 3X both in financial return and resilience.  

I will be presenting this unique program at the PCBC Conference on June 20 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm in Anaheim, Calif. The content is based on my extensive engagement with the housing industry as Chief Architect with the U.S. DOE Building Technologies Office and national director for both ENERGY STAR Certified Home and Zero Energy Ready Home. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to acquire practical skills for applying proven strategies that deliver better zero energy ready homes at lower cost. Moreover, these strategies have been vetted with thousands of housing industry professionals over the past decade. A sample of what you’ll learn includes:

• What four crises converging on the housing industry today are creating substantial pain points for builders?
• What four innovations are market ready to resolve the four housing crises?
• What off-the-shelf best practices for optimizing community can provide up to $150,000 cost savings and added value for zero energy ready homes?
• What off-the-shelf best practices for optimizing housing design can provide up to $200,000 cost savings and added value for zero energy ready homes?
• What off-the-shelf best practices for optimizing performance can get homes to zero energy ready while providing up to $250,000 of cost savings and added value?
• What off-the-shelf best practices for optimizing quality can provide up to $100,000 of cost savings and added value for zero energy ready homes?
• What innovation leading home builders in the U.S. and abroad are applying Housing 2.0 best practices with compelling business outcomes?
