Event
Building High Performance Walls and Roofs
September 28, 2010
9 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.
The concepts behind high performance wall and roof assembly and construction are now within the reach of all builders and remodelers. This interactive course focuses on bringing building shells to the Oregon Department of Energy's (ODOE) High Performance Home™ standard, and includes an overview of the tax credits that are available to home builders through ODOE. The instructor provides demonstrations of two of the most common and successful high performance wall assemblies: continuous exterior insulation and staggered stud framing. Participants learn principles that can be applied to existing homes and new construction projects, including durable wall design, product selection, staging, construction, and pricing.
Objectives
List high performance building methods for insulation, air sealing, and weatherization.
Identify when and by whom these methods are used during the pre-insulation, post-drywall, and siding installation phases of construction.
List methods for building high performance roofs for both new and existing homes.
Estimate costs associated with building high performance walls and roofs.
Describe the tax credits available to homebuilders who build to the Oregon High Performance Home standard.
