The energy efficiency levels of new homes built in the U.S. have improved significantly in the past decade with developments in building science and improved construction practices according to the United States Department of Energy (DOE). This seminar provides updated design guidance for energy-efficient homes from DOE's Building America program to achieve zero energy ready performance. It also explores issues with depressurization and humidity loads with tight, efficient envelopes, and the potential impact on gas appliances along with ventilation strategies for a healthy indoor environment.
