SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Engery Smart Cost Conscious Building
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Ethan Cole of Earthshare Construction and Ryan Hereth of Geobarns\nBrought to you by the Cornish NH Energy Committee \nVIA ZOOM ONLY\nPre-registration required \nThis talk will explore: \n\nWhat makes the most durable\, energy efficient building envelope.\nHow to safely & economically achieve building tightness.\nThe best wall and roof assemblies money can buy.\nVapor barrier vs. air barrier – differences & importance.\nHow best to seal around windows & other framing transitions (wall to roof).\n“Continuous insulation” & the pros and cons of different types of insulation.\n\nThis is Part II of our Building Science Educational Series. It dovetails perfectly with the previous talk about how condensation moves inside buildings. These two experienced green builders will discuss the fundamental principles of high performance energy efficient building\, and how those principles can be applied to weatherizing existing homes. This talk is for builders and homeowners alike. \nPresenters\nEthan Cole is the Owner/CEO of Earthshare Construction LLC\, based in Lebanon NH\, which since 2011 has been producing high performance buildings\, remodels\, energy retrofits\, and weatherization projects in the greater Upper Valley. Ethan has over 20 years of experience in the trades\, and holds dual Envelope Professional and Building Analyst Professional certifications from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). \nRyan Hereth is the CEO of Geobarns LLC\, a Vermont based company founded by George Abetti\, that has been building barn-style structures in the upper valley since 1992. In the past ten years Ryan has adapted Geobarns structures into high performance\, durable buildings. Most recently Ryan has worked on comparative building assemblies\, examining the impact & use of natural vs. man-made materials to reduce embodied carbon. \nContact josharf@gmail.com with any questions. \nThe Cornish Energy Committee does not endorse any particular contractor or product brand.
