A builder's take on InSoFast when it comes to retrofitting old, energy INefficient homes into something "brand new..." The Passive House, or in this case, The Amalia House. All the way down south in Tucson, AZ, where temperatures reach well above 100 degrees in the summer months, David McGann walks us through his journey to understanding the importance of building energy efficient homes, especially where the temperatures are EXTREME. https://lnkd.in/gN__7xSk

NEEA’s 2022 Residential Building Stock Assessment is Live! Dive into the Northwest’s Data. The results of the 2022 Residential Building Stock Assessment (RBSA) are now available on https://hubs.la/Q02slgm90. Conducted every 5 years, the RBSA collects energy usage and building characteristic data from more than 2,000 single-family and multifamily residences in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. This one-of-a-kind data provides valuable insight that helps support and inform regional efficiency programs and energy planning for years to come. To find more information on the RBSA, including accessing the full datasets and report, visit: https://hubs.la/Q02slgq30.

Couldn't be more excited to release this important and timely report looking at how to electrify the critical small- to midsize-property segment of the New York housing stock. Three key takeaways: 1. There are over 1.3 million units in small multifamily buildings heated by non-electric equipment that is more than 15 years old. 2. Owners will likely replace thousands of non-electric heating systems in the near- to medium-term. 3. This provides an opportunity to take advantage of incentives and replace aging equipment with high-efficiency electrical systems to meet clean energy standards.
