Magnificent Obsession – zero-energy TriDi Panel residence
Greetings! You are invited to join the San Diego Renewable Energy Society (SDRES) on Wednesday, October 14 at 7pm for Drew Hubbell’s presentation “Attributes of Zero Energy Buildings”. Feel free to arrive at 6:30pm to network with other renewable energy professionals.
The October program is the first of a six part series that will focus on ways to capture the promise of energy efficiency in the San Diego region. To kick off the series, we have Drew Hubbell the noted architect who will describe the “Attributes of Zero Energy Buildings”.
Drew will provide an overview of alternative building materials reviewing their attributes and energy saving quality. These will include stick frame, insulated concrete forms, Tri-D foam panels, SIPs, straw bales and sprayed concrete. He will also review passive solar design features and how they effect the buildings energy consumption. These include natural day lighting and ventilation, building orientation, shading and landscaping. Mr. Hubbell will close his presentation by walking us through 3 Case Study homes that have attempted to achieve zero energy usage.
SDRES programs are free and are held at the California Center for Sustainable Energy, 8690 Balboa Avenue, Suite 100 (2 blocks east of Hwy 163 on the north side of Balboa). Pre-registration is not required.
Sincerely,
San Diego Renewable Energy Society
