Presenters: Jennifer Rennick, AIA, CEA

Working through specific examples, we’ll help project teams identify strategies that have the highest impact for improving energy efficiency, comfort and indoor healthy environments in renovations and additions.

Learning objectives:

• Learn how existing energy performance and indoor air quality is evaluated

• Review the benefits and challenges of moving toward all-electric equipment and appliances in a remodel

• Identify best practices and highest impact upgrades for retrofits

• Compare strategies for phasing-in improvements and where to start.
