As we reduce the space conditioning loads in buildings the traditional approaches for heating, cooling, ventilating, and domestic hot water may not be the best choices. Get the tools to conceptualize the mechanical systems in your low load buildings so as to avoid excessively sized and overly costly solutions. This workshop was designed for you to learn about the basics -- heating and cooling loads -- and then look at systems to provide heating, cooling, and ventilation to low load buildings. Other topics in this workshop include heat recovery ventilation, minisplit heat pumps, and solar hot water. Although primarily oriented to homes, the technologies and approaches are pertinent to multi-family dwellings and larger buildings or groups of buildings. This course is adapted from training for Passive House Consultants.

The NESEA Master Workshops are put on by a collaboration of NY Designs and GreenHomeNYC, NYC's local NESEA (Northeast Sustainable Energy Association) chapter.

Instructor: MARC ROSENBAUM uses an integrated systems design approach to help people create buildings and communities which help connect us to the natural world and support both personal and planetary health. His work has been nationally recognized by ASHRAE, AIA, EEBA, and NESEA.
