Making homes healthy, safe, comfortable, durable, and energy efficient should be the goal for all communities. How can that be achieved?

1. Understand How the House Works as a System
2. Respect the Building Science Principles (How Air, Heat and Moisture move about and through a home)
3. Install a continuous air barrier
4. Insulate to avoid thermal bridges
5. Provide balanced mechanical ventilation.

This session will address the lessons learned, collaboration opportunities and challenges of delivering a high performance energy retrofit program in three remote communities and how the process can be adapted successfully to any location.
