New homes are being built with vented attics that meet the ventilation requirements of the building code, yet many are experiencing mild to severe moisture problems. People are

7


spending countless hours after the fact trying to figure out how much more venting these roofs need to solve the problem. Maybe the answer isn't venting after all. This session will cover the information necessary to 'design out' the potential for attic moisture problems all while keeping your building inspector happy.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Managing bad customer reviews

Creating net zero homes isn’t rocket science; it’s about doing everything really well, all the way through design and construction. It sounds simple, and it is, except for the things that are often overlooked or need more attention than they generally get. This session will help lay the groundwork for success by

identifying the typical pitfalls and how to avoid them. We’ll also cover the economics of net zero—it’s surprisingly affordable! SPONSORED BY PURDUE POLYTECHNIC GRADUATE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS MASTER SPEAKER

Indoor environmental ergonomics: the human factors in thermal comfort and indoor air quality

LOCATION: WISTERIA PRESENTED BY: ROBERT BEAN, INDOOR CLIMATE CONSULTANTS INC. CREDITS: AIA 1.25 LU/HSWS, ASHI 1 CE CREDIT, BPI 1.25 CEUS, DSPS 1 CEU TOWARDS DWELLING CONTRACTOR QUALIFIER CERTIFICATION, GBCI 1 CE HOUR, IACET 0.1 CEU, NAHB, NARI 1.25 CEUS, NATE 1.25 CEHS

One would think an entire industry based on providing comfortable, healthy and safe environments should be able to easily describe how humans actually develop perceptions about indoor spaces. But as strange as it sounds course curriculum and building codes only address “the hardware” and completely ignore “the software,” that being the human factors. This program is all about the software and the missing link connecting bodies to buildings.


Focus on Energy New Homes Program overview

The Focus on Energy New Homes Program has certified nearly 23,000 homes to date. Join a panel of Focus on Energy building science professionals to take an in depth look at the business-enhancing opportunities for builders to participate in this innovative and proven statewide program. Today, nearly 300 builders participate in the program.


Foam free high performance building enclosures

This presentation is a careful look at how to achieve the highest levels of resilient and sustainable building enclosures while eliminating foam. The growing performance demands of air control, vapor control, thermal control, health and sustainability are examined. Foam insulation, dominant in today’s high performance marketplace, is increasingly recognized as hindering many of these building performance goals. Practitioners are therefore wanting and finding new solutions that virtually eliminate foam and provide greater performance.


Building science puzzles—round two

Performance of a high insulation | high thermal mass building

LOCATION: PORTIA PRESENTED BY: DAN JOHNSON AND DAVID ROMARY, DRIFTLESS HOMEWRIGHTS CREDITS: AIA 1.25 LU, ASHI 1 CE CREDIT, BPI 1.25 CEUS, DSPS 1 CEU TOWARDS DWELLING CONTRACTOR QUALIFIER CERTIFICATION, 1 CEU TOWARDS UDC-CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR CERTIFICATION, GBCI 1 CE HOUR, IACET 0.1 CEU, NAHB, NARI 1.25 CEUS

In 2014, Driftless HomeWrights completed a house using a combination of high insulation (R37.5) and high thermal mass: 4' insulated concrete slab floor and 4' thick CEB wall instead of drywall for the interior finish of all exterior walls. Data loggers were used through the last heating season to the present in this second home to monitor the thermal performance when the building is occupied and when it is left unheated.

Estimating and job costing for profit

LOCATION: MANGROVE PRESENTED BY: MARK ETRHEIM, MASTERCRAFT HOMES, INC. CREDITS: AIA 1.25 LUS, ASHI 1 CE CREDIT, BPI 1.25 CEUS, DSPS 1 CEU TOWARDS DWELLING CONTRACTOR QUALIFIER CERTIFICATION, GBCI 1 CE HOUR, IACET 0.1 CEU, NAHB, NARI 1.25 CEUS

Most contractors use the the best guess approach to estimating, then fail to verify how the actual bills came in compared to the estimate. Estimating is a game of exact guessing that must be mastered in order to have business that runs smoothly and then that estimate must be compared to the actual bills line by line. The true goal of estimating is to predict each bill that you will receive for each job. Accurate scope of work for each trade translates into a lower price to the customer and more money for the company.

Increasing use of distributed resources (energy efficiency, solar PV, batteries, home generators) is causing revenue losses for utilities and they are proposing new pricing systems in response. But the initial designs, which shift cost recovery between volumetric and fixed charges, are only the beginning. The ultimate trend is toward more complex pricing, which itself can create both problems and opportunities for customers and utilities. Understanding the possible pricing trajectories will help builders find the best resource options for customers. SPONSORED BY WPPI ENERGY

LOCATION: PORTIA PRESENTED BY: EMILY KEMPER, CLEARESULT CREDITS: AIA 1.25 LU/HSWS, ASHI 1 CE CREDIT, BPI 1.25 CEUS, DSPS 1 CEU TOWARDS DWELLING CONTRACTOR QUALIFIER CERTIFICATION, 1 CEU TOWARDS UDC-CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR CERTIFICATION, GBCI 1 CE HOUR, IACET 0.1 CEU, NAHB, NARI 1.25 CEUS

Installing connected devices in a home while it is being constructed can greatly reduce installation first costs and eliminate technical barriers that homeowners may experience with self-installation. Working with a HEMS or connected product vendor before the house is built may also give builders the chance to incorporate state-of-the-art appliances that are both energy efficient and connected via a command center model, potentially even streamlining bulk purchasing of equipment. In addition, providing a HEMS in a brand new home could give homeowners more insight into and control over how they use energy.

MARKETING

Build your business by building better homes

LOCATION: MANGROVE PRESENTED BY: STEVE ROMME, EFREE ADVISORS, LLC CREDITS: AIA 1.25 LUS, ASHI 1 CE CREDIT, BPI 1.25 CEUS, DSPS 1 CEU TOWARDS DWELLING CONTRACTOR QUALIFIER CERTIFICATION, GBCI 1 CE HOUR, IACET 0.1 CEU, NAHB, NARI 1.25 CEUS

New home construction is all about price, buyers don’t care about quality, comfort, indoor air quality, or energy efficiency. Wrong! They do care, but you need to show them the value. This session shows builders how to use optimization and smart building techniques to market and build new homes that are more comfortable, more durable, healthier, more energy efficient and provide the homeowner more value from the first day they move in. Build your business by building better homes.
