An Upcoming AIA New York CRAN Virtual Event
ResArch Practice: High-Performance Homebuilders
On behalf of the AIA National CRAN Executive Committee, I want to draw your attention to an upcoming residential design event that we are confident you will enjoy. It's a live webinar entitled: "Aiming for Near-Zero Carbon Homes". I recently participated in an event where I heard one of the panelists, Michael Ingui, speak on the subject - and I was very impressed.
In addition to sharing a number of thoughtful insights into passive house design, he explained how to get your residential clients onboard. Something I think many architects and builders interested in including more of this work into their projects will appreciate. Michael discourages the use of industry jargon with clients. Instead of mentioning sustainability, or other industry terms, he encourages helping the client to understand the specific benefits they will gain from the inclusion of the energy-conserving products and design strategies you are recommending. In other words, instead of telling them about sustainability - talk about being totally comfortable in your home, in the dead of winter with snow all around, with the heat inside your home turned off!
Aiming for Near-Zero Carbon Homes
The cost of the live webinar event is $5.00 for AIANY members and $10.00 for all other AIA members.
*This event will be occurring as a live webinar. Registrants will be emailed a link to access the program.*
