Explore the methods for designing homes that require little or no non-renewable energy to power them. Learn about the best strategies to reduce energy loads -- air sealing, insulation upgrades, glass & fenestration considerations, orientation and passive techniques, as well as information on reducing loads from domestic hot water, ventilation, lighting, and appliances. Learn about biomass fuel-burning appliances, solar thermal, ground source heat pumps, solar electric, & wind turbines through several case studies of zero annual net energy homes.

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.
