Hosted by Green Built Alliance, this free online workshop goes over the main design principles, with examples and best practices, of passive solar design for energy-efficient homes in North Carolina climates. Participants will understand how design choices about the orientation, shading, lay out, window sizes and locations, use of thermal mass, and use of high performance building envelope principles in a new home construction project can contribute to energy savings, homeowner satisfaction, and even earn rebates and incentives in North Carolina.
