Let's meet the author and discuss what is new Residential Energy. The 7th edition is one of the most comprehensive guidebooks available about energy efficiency, comfort, health, safety, and durability for homes, apartments, and multifamily buildings. We will go over what is new at high level including low-cost cooling, advanced factors affecting insulation, masonry-building insulation and air sealing, air-sealing technology, new content in heating and air conditioning, ventilation, dehumidification, multifamily retrofits, and air filtration. If you manage, weatherize, or renovate housing, the session will discuss resources to guide you in planning priorities for building energy efficiency. Also is beneficial for colleges, vocational schools, and technical schools and is an essential reference for home energy raters, energy auditors, weatherization technicians, carpenters, HVAC specialists, insulation contractors, and renovators. Bonus: One lucky member attendee will win a copy of the 7th edition of the Book Residential Energy. https://srmi.biz/product/residential-energy-7ed/ Continuing Education Units (CEUS) submitted 1 hour in* Green Business Certification Inc.

Residential Energy: Known as the Building-Science Bible Experts consider Residential Energy the Bible for building performance. Since 1992 we’ve sold more than 110,000 copies. Between now and then, Saturn Resource Management developed the reputation as the leading plain-language book publisher of building-science-based information about energy conservation for buildings. Our most common complaint about Residential Energy is that if you lend it, you may not get it back.
