- It’s called Contracting for a reason: Nearly every part of the project is governed by a contract. As a licensed contractor, you’re required to have a written contract with your customer. For most of you, the specialty trades are performed under a contract. For many of you, most if not all of the trades are performed by folks who are not employees; those relationships need to be governed by a contract. Most general contractors in the residential area spend less time building and more time coordinating performance under a contract. This course pulls back the curtain of the contract to take the mystery out. Rather than some mysterious legal document meant to protect you, you’ll discover that every contract, just like the projects it governs, has similar formula – the step-by-step set of instructions for building a successful project. This course breaks down the parts of and explores the importance of using contracts.

- For high-performance, net zero energy homes, it is critical to get the building enclosure and mechanical systems right. While renewable energy can be added or acquired later, it is not as easy to change the overall efficiency of the building enclosure or HVAC system. It is critical to identify cost-effective approaches to get the loads low and efficiencies high. The last segment of this course will explore specific design and technologies strategies that the instructor would select for a Net Zero energy Home today. It all comes down to systems optimization—not spending too much in one area or too little in another—with the goal of keeping the cost of a renewable energy system more accessible and affordable today and in the future.
