Proposed Session Description
There are thousands of energy efficient products available for home builders, and more innovative solutions coming to market every day. How can we best find and evaluate these products and connect builders to the right products for their homes? What are the industry trends in terms of adoption of each product? Are there missed opportunities to build better homes simply due to a lack of information? (spoiler alert: yes!) In this session, we will leverage data from nearly ¼ million Ekotrope HERS Ratings in 2021 to explore these questions and build a toolkit of answers and solutions that drive toward better home building decisions, all while reducing headaches and wasted time for HERS Raters.
Learning Objectives
Identify new constructions by regions, builders and HERS rating
Use the Ekotrope tool to do scenario modelling and identify energy rebates design opportunities.
Use the Ekotrope tool to enhance marketing initiatives and reach beyond the traditional energy conscious builders.
Identify regional trends and opportunities to improve residential building energy efficiency with impact-full building products and forward-minded builders.
