A
Can
everyone
in
the
back?
Can
you
give
me
a
thumbs
up
if
you
can
hear
me?
Okay,
okay!
So
thank
you
for
joining
us
for
this
first
workshop
in
the
rebuilding
better
workshop
series
that
will
be
taking
place
this
summer.
Our
intent
is
to
keep
these
both
in
person
and
hybrid.
So
you
can
see
we
have
a
camera
and
a
microphone
set
up
right
now,
so
you
have
some
residents
and
neighbors
joining
you
from
home
as
well.
So
just
keep
in
mind,
that's
always
an
option
moving
forward
throughout
the
summer.
A
With
these
my
name
is
alyssa
vogen
and
I'm
the
sustainability
analyst
for
the
town
of
superior,
and
I
am
also
joined
by
kayla
vetzolt,
who
is
the
sustainability
coordinator
for
the
city
of
louisville
and
her,
and
I
have
been
working
collaborating
on
organizing
these,
along
with
zach
swank,
who
is
the
built
environment
coordinator?
That's
his
role
with
the
the
county
of
boulder
with
boulder
county.
A
He
could
not
be
here
tonight,
but
rachel
is
joining
us
as
well
as
some
others
from
the
energy
smart
division,
so
they'll
be
up
here
presenting
in
a
bit
so
over
the
next
few
months.
These
workshops
will
provide
more
details
and
information
about
the
resources
available
on
the
rebuilding
better
website
that
will
help
you
plan
design
and
construct
a
comfortable,
healthy
and
resilient
home.
A
Okay
great,
and
that
is,
I
don't
know
if
we
have
it
anywhere
on
the
slides,
but
the
website
url
is
rebuildingbetter.org,
and
that
will
just
take
you
to
the
main
page
and
there
are
resources
on
there
that
are
for
homeowners
as
well
as
for
builders
as
well.
A
We
have
a
very
full
agenda
tonight
with
a
lot
of
great
speakers
and
experts
in
this
area.
I'm
not
one
of
those
experts.
I
work
I'm
a
sustainability
analyst,
but
my
focus
is
more
in
community
engagement,
waste
and
water,
and
so
we're
lucky
enough
to
be
in
boulder
county,
where
we
have
a
lot
of
experts
that
can
talk
about
efficient
homes,
electrified
homes,
passive
houses,
we're
joined
by
a
lot
of
those
experts
tonight,
and
I
will
attempt
to
get
everyone's
name
correctly
and
when.
A
On
yourself
and
the
work
that
you
do,
but
we're
joined
by
robbie,
schwartz
and
rachel
bramlett,
who
are
with
boulder
county,
we're
joined
by
frank,
wetton,
camp
of
the
colorado,
green
building
guild
and
eric
strait
who's
here
on
behalf
of
excel
energy,
and
so
before
I
hand
it
off
to
ravi.
I
just
want
to
cover
some
quick
logistics
for
the
evening.
A
We
will
do
q
a
at
the
very
end,
so
just
hold
your
questions
for
each
individual
speaker
feel
free
to
write
them
down
in
that
padfolio
that
you
were
given
and
we'll
cover
all
of
those
at
the
end,
and
if
we
start
to
run
out
of
time,
we
will
work
on
a
way
to
gather
all
of
your
questions,
so
we
can
send
out
like
a
follow-up
document
that
has
answers
to
the
questions
that
you
come
up
with
tonight.
B
A
Issues
and
challenges
come
up
with
those
that
are
online,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
making
this
an
effective
meeting
for
everybody,
that's
joining
us.
I
mentioned
that
there
were
comment
cards.
It
was
one
of
the
three
pieces
of
paper
that
you
were.
You
were
given
at
the
beginning,
so
if
you
could
take
some
time
at
the
end
to
fill
that
out
and
leave
it
in
the
basket,
that's
back
there
on
the
counter,
and
that
will
help
us
plan
the
future
workshops
that
we
offer
there
are
drinks
available
over
on
that
counter.
C
We
have
a
spot
in
the
back
over
on
this
counter
for
comic
cards
at
the
end.
So
if
you
just
want
to
drop
them
in
that
that
box
on
your
way
out,
that'd
be
great.
D
Okay,
hi
everyone
thanks
for
coming
out
today,
I
am
a
new
resource
for
you
in
boulder
county,
so
including
louisville
and
superior
obviously
as
well.
I
am
with
the.
E
D
Smart
program
and
the
new
homes
advisor
here
I've
been
working
in
the
building
industry
with
codes
and
programs
and
apply
building
science
for
25
plus
years.
So
hopefully
I
can
answer
your
questions
and
if
I
can
answer
it,
I
will
guarantee.
I
will
find
you
and
answer
those
questions
today.
We're
going
to
be
talking
about
comfort,
and
so
I
always
come
come
to
housing
issues
from
kind
of
a
building
science
perspective.
D
So
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
about
this
idea
of
systems
thinking
and
this
integrated
systems
approach,
because
really
all
of
these
goals
that
we
have
for
our
new
homes
come
through
the
synergy
of
how
we
put
the
house
together
in
order
to
achieve
those
goals,
because
everything
builds
on
everything
else
here.
D
Actually,
an
air
current
is
going
to
go
to
that
window
and
and
cool
off
and
we're
gonna
get
a
draft
which
you
might
think
is
connected
to
outside,
but
it's
actually
just
air
falling
down
a
window
as
it
cools
and
moves
start
creating
a
current
in
the
house
that
creates
a
draft
in
the
house
there.
D
So
what
we're
we're
talking
about
when
we're
dealing
with
comfort
is
how
do
we
build
a
building
thermal
envelope
that
is
high
enough,
so
that
that
it's
going
to
raise
the
surface
temperature
and
create
this
comfort,
so
our
body
temperature
doesn't
radiate
to
that
cold
surface
there.
So
we
think
about
our
walls
and
our
windows,
and
these
things
called
thermal
bridges
where
the
the
energy
is
moving
through
the
framing
the
actual
wood
in
our
assemblies.
If
we
have
masses
of
wood
in
our
assemblies,
we
have
colder
surfaces
in
our
assemblies.
D
All
these
things
are
integrated,
so
that's
a
comfort
issue,
but
it
can
also
become
a
building
durability
issue
because
those
cold
surfaces
create
condensation
and
wetting
potential
in
our
houses.
So
all
these
things
again
are
are
related
to
each
other
comfort,
durability,
resiliency,
all
those
different
things
here,
but
ultimately,
as
a
byproduct
of
concentrating
on
comfort
in
our
houses,
we're
going
to
help
reduce
the
loads
in
our
houses,
so
we
can
get
smaller
hdac
equipment
to
heat
and
cool
our
houses
there,
and
it's
going
to
help
reduce
our
operational
cost.
D
D
But
the
next
thing
we
need
to
talk
about
from
a
comfort
perspective
is
indoor
air
quality
and
how
indoor
air
quality
and
comfort
kind
of
matches
together,
because
health
and
safety
is
a
big
part
of
comfort
in
our
house,
how
we're
going
to
breathe
what
we're
going
to
breathe
in
that
houses.
So
from
that
building
science
kind
of
perspective,
we're
always
thinking
about
building
our
houses
tight
and
then
this
mantra
build
our
houses,
tight,
ventilate
them
correctly
for
us
and
the
house
for
the
occupants
and
for
for
the
house
itself.
D
So
we're
going
to
build
our
houses
tight
and
in
essence,
we
want
to
build
it
as
tight
as
we
possibly
can,
and
then
we
need
to
ventilate
the
house
properly.
So
we
want
proper
what
we
call
whole
house
controlled,
mechanical
ventilation,
because
we
want
control
and
we
want
predictability
of
the
airflow
in
that
house,
because
the
air
is
like
a
freight
train.
It's
going
to
move
energy,
it's
going
to
move
moisture,
it's
going
to
move
pollutants
in
and
out
of
that
house,
and
we
want
control
over
that.
D
So
we
can
clean
the
air
and
we
can
get
more
comfortable.
More
safer
air
that
we
can
breathe,
we
want
to
be
able
to
filter
that
air.
We
want
to
do
all
those
things
we
want
to
condition
the
air
if
we
want
it
heated
or
cool
it,
all
those
things
that
we
want
to
do
to
create
that
comfortable
house
there.
So
again
we
want
balance.
Ventilation
is
ideal,
but
whole
house
ventilation
is
the
most
important
thing,
balanced
ventilation-
or
you
might
have
heard
this
term
erv
or
hrd
heat
recovery,
ventilator,
energy,
recovery
event.
D
Those
are
types
of
ventilation
systems.
What
we're
really
wanting
to
to
push
here
is
to
understand.
We
want
that
tight
house
and
we
want
it
ventilated
right.
Then
you
can
figure
out
how
you're
going
to
do
that.
What's
the
best
way
for
your
particular
house
to
do
that,
to
create
the
comfort
and
whatnot
the
next
thing
from
an
indoor
air
quality
perspective,
we
need
to
think
about.
D
Are
the
materials
that
we're
going
to
build
our
house
with
those
materials
are
often
manufactured
materials
that
are
glued
together
and
and
put
together
with
all
these
different
compounds
and
glues
and
chemicals
and
whatnot.
So
there
are
specific
incentive
programs
that
are
being
incentivized
right
now
that
that
help
us
understand
the
material
choices
that
we
have.
Specifically,
the
department
of
energy,
zero
energy
ready
home
program
uses
a
sister
program
called
the
epa
enter
the
environmental
protection
agency's
indoor
air
plus
program
and
part
of
that
program.
D
So
your
couches,
your
material,
your
bedding,
all
those
things
potentially
off
gas
as
well,
so
it's
kind
of
again
you
have
to
think
about
the
impact
that
the
whole
structure
together
when
we
think
about
comfort
and
indoor
air
quality.
Again
from
this
byproduct
perspective.
D
We
want
to
breathe
and
whatnot
is
happens
behind
the
drywall,
those
things
that
aren't
sexy
to
look
at,
but
are
so
important
to
ensure
that
you're
going
to
get
a
comfortable,
durable,
efficient,
resilient,
safe
good
air
quality
house.
There
happens
before
the
drywall
goes
into
account.
So
it's
important
to
put
your
team
together
and
have
these
discussions
before
you
start
building
with
your
builder,
your
architect,
your
hvac
contractor
your
insulator.
Your
engineer
get
all
these
people
together
and
ensure
you
have
a
goal:
a
common
goal
and
a
common
understanding.
D
That's
the
big
thing
you
want
to
define
those
expectations
for
your
house
so
that
you
can
actually
achieve
that
with
your
team
there
and
then,
if
you
do
use
these
incentive
programs,
they're
building
programs,
and
they
have
verification
built
into
that.
So
you'll
deal
you'll
work
with
a
third-party
verification
group
or
energy
rater
or
passive
house
consultant
or
some
type
of
consultant
that
will
come
in
and
help
in
addition
to
the
code
official
to
ensure
that
your
house
is
getting
built.
The
way
you
want
it
built
in
order
to
meet
those
core
expectations.
D
Obviously
one
of
the
biggest
ones
we're
talking
about
tonight,
comfort
and
indoor
air
quality,
so
that
was
very
quick
and
I'm
sure
there
are
some
questions
and
we'll
get
to
those
at
the
end.
But
I'm
committed
we'll
stay
here
until
all
the
questions
are
answered
there,
so
we'll
pass
it
off
right
spring.
F
Yeah
thanks
robbie.
I
just
want
to
echo
everything.
Robbie
said
cause
that
was
really
great,
there's
so
many
things
to
think
about
when
you're
building
a
house-
and
it
can
be
really
overwhelming,
but.
F
Basic
principles
that
you
want
to
stick
to-
and
I
think
robbie
touched
on
a
lot
of
that
and
I'm
going
to
be.
You
know
I
kind
of
just
put
together
a
bullet
list
from
some
of
our
previous
events
that
we've
had
through
the
colorado
green
building
guild.
We're
gonna
continue
to
host
events
as
well
kind
of
in
tandem
with
county,
or
you
know,
municipalities
and
we're
gonna
continue
to
try
and
create
partnerships
with
manufacturers
and
suppliers,
and
things
like
that
too.
F
So,
hopefully,
we
can
find
other
ways
to
save
costs,
but
you
know
in
general
saving
costs
it.
You
know
you
have
to
look
for
the
free
things
you
know.
Sun
is
sunlight.
B
F
So
if
you
need
to
heat
your
house
in
your
time,
you
passive,
solar,
you
know
orient
your
house
right,
get
your
roof
shaded,
so
that
you're
not
taking
on
too
much
sun
in
the
summertime
taking
on
sun
in
the
winter
time
using
a
little
bit
of
mass
inside.
So
you
can
keep
that
mass
up
that
radiates.
Your
house
keeps
you
all
nice
and
warm
that's
free.
D
F
Right,
all
you
really
have
to
do
is
make
sure
you
can
hopefully
orient
somewhat
south
there's
room.
You
know,
there's
like
a
wide
range
of
how
you
can
orient
that's
something
that
you
want
to
talk
to
with
your
designer
architect,
possibly
your
builder
too,
but
yeah
free
things
like
that.
I
think
along
with
orientation.
F
Is
you
want
to
think
about
the
form
of
your
building?
We
talk
about
how
more
the
more
corners
you
have
the
more
expensive
your
house
gets
and
that's
for
like
kind
of
multi-layered
here,
but
just
thinking
about,
if
you
are
just
building
a
box,
that
box
has
very
few
corners.
It's
very
easy
to
detail.
It's
very
easy
to
heat.
You
don't
have
super
high
vaulted
ceilings
that
you
have
just
kind
of
wasted
air.
F
Just
thinking
about
how
can
I
first
of
all
reduce
the
size
of
the
building,
I'm
building
and
simplify
the
shape?
You
know
how
many
roof
lines
you
actually
need
is
just
something
you
know
when
you're,
when
the
architect
possibly
wants
to
build
something
that
you
know
has
a
few
dormers
on
it
and
stuff
like
that.
F
Just
consider
that
all
these
little
corners
they're
from
a
constructability
standpoint,
they're
hard
to
detail,
that's
where
you're
gonna
have
more
air
infiltration,
not
to
mention
it's
more
expensive
to
frame,
so
you
know
just
kind
of
some
basics
and
then,
when
you're
thinking
about
size,
you
really
want
to
think
about
like
what
are
your
actual
patterns?
What
are
your
actual
goals
for
this
house?
What
does
your
family
need
and
what
rooms
did
you
not
really
use?
F
What
was
wasted
space
because
the
more
square
footage
you
have
I
mean
there's
obviously
cost
of
you
know
cost
of
scale,
but
the
smaller
you
can
build
the
more
affordable
you
can
build.
So
try
to
just
think
about.
Like
your
patterns,
there's
a
great
book
called
the
pattern
language
you
can
kind
of
think
about
like
what
are
my
patterns
in
a
day-to-day
basis.
What
is
my
flow?
F
F
Gosh
there's
just
so
many
things
to
talk
about,
but
multi-functional
spaces
are
part
of
that
you
know
like.
Can
I
have
a
murphy
bed
that
I
can
then
utilize
for
guests
to
come
over,
so
I
don't
have
have
a
dedicated
guest
room
or
multiple
dedicated
guest
rooms
that
never
get
used
just
wasted
space
space,
your
heating
or
cooling.
All
the
time.
F
So
I
highly
recommend
that
take
advantage
of
all
the
rebates.
You
know
people
like
talk
about
how
expensive
windows
are
and
they
are
really
expensive.
F
I
don't
get
paid
by
any
manufacturer,
but
I
will
say
that
help
and
windows
are
discounted
and
they
are
actually
super
affordable
for
a
high
performance
window,
they're,
not
necessarily
the
best
window,
but
they're
better
than
most
and
they're
local,
which
is
great,
which
kind
of
brings
me
on
to
like
regional
natural
materials,
especially
with
supply
chain
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
right
now,
really
long
lead
times
and
things.
If
you
can
use
a
regional,
a
regional
material,
regional
supplier,
something
like
that,
then
you
don't
really
have
to
deal
with.
F
Much
it's
difficult
to
source
original
materials.
Sometimes
it
might
take
a
little
bit
extra
effort,
but
it's
worth
at
least
asking
your
designer
and
your
builder,
you
know
especially
like
when
lumber
costs
started
skyrocketing.
All
of
a
sudden
local
sawyers
became
a
little
bit
more
appealing
as
long
as
you
can
get
it
graded.
You
know
there
are
lots
of
different
ways.
You
can
go
about
it.
It
gets
a
little
tricky,
but
just
I'm
going
to
try
and
rifle
through
some
more
of
these
yeah
electrification,
georgia
paper
gas.
F
I
also
just
think
that,
like
in
general,
I
don't
you
know
it
doesn't
really
matter
what
your
political
opinion
on
this
is.
I
just
think
in
general,
we're
going
towards
electrification,
it's
just
inevitable.
Gas
may
fluctuate,
we
don't
really
know
electrification.
Just
kind
of
like
is
the
future,
so
I
highly
recommend
it,
and
then
I
think
there
are
just
some
other
things
you
could
think
about
in
terms
of
universal
design.
Durability.
F
Even
for
retail,
your
house
might
be
more
appealing
to
someone
who's
older
or
wants
to
age
in
the
house,
all
those
kinds
of
things
so
that
you're
building
kind
of
for
the
future
and
that
kind
of
has
to
do
with
firewise
as
well,
which
is
you
know,
we
don't
expect
a
fire
to
rage
through
our
towns
like
it
did.
But
maybe
we
want
to
plan
for
that
in
the
future
just
in
case,
and
you
can
look
up
firewise,
we
did
a
event
on
it
as
well.
F
If
you
want
to
go
to
our
website,
watch
that
video
I'm
pretty
informative,
we're
also
going
to
be
hosting
another
event
on
june
21st.
I
believe
you
can
go
to
the
website.
Look
at
the
events
calendar,
but
it's
going
to
be
all
about
just
ignition
resistant
materials,
so
we'll
have
different
reps
kind
of
talking
about
ignition
resistant
materials
that
you
have
options
for
we're,
not
necessarily
promoting
one
or
another.
But
just
you
know,
you're
kind
of
limited
on
your
options.
F
We
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
give
you
some
options
of
cladding
installation
things
like
that
and
then
what
did
I
not
touch
on.
F
Well,
high
performing
envelope
is
kind
of
thinking
about
installation
and
air
sealing.
Personally,
I'm
gonna
throw
my
personal
beliefs
in
here,
I'm
not
a
big
fan
of
spray
foam
or
just
foam
in
general
above
grade.
So
if
you
can
get
away
from
that,
it's
really
good
for
the
environment.
F
I
highly
recommend
cellulose
double
stud
walls,
super
simple
to
build
pretty
affordable
at
least
cost
competitive,
but
that's
my
own
personal
belief,
so
you
don't
have
you
can
take
that
for
free
itself
and
then
just
thinking
about
environmental
costs,
that's
part
of
it.
You
know
we're.
F
We
were
really.
You
were
all
super
unfortunate
and
I
don't.
I
can't
even
imagine
what
it
was
like
and
what
it's
still
like
to
be
dealing
with
the
grief
and
the
loss.
But
you
know
it's
it's
really
challenging
because
we
do
have.
It
is
like
it's
a
time
where
you
only
really
have
one
chance
of
building
your
house
properly,
because
once
you
put
the
drywall
up,
it's
really
expensive
and
really
hard
to
change
things
inside
your
wall
system,
so
kind
of
like
now
is
the
time.
F
So
if
I
can
make
a
recommendation,
it's
like
put
your
money
in
your
envelope
and
then
the
rest
of
your
finishes,
and
things
like
that,
like
you,
can
swap
those
out
at
a
later
date,
if
you
need
to
but
trying
to
change
your
envelope.
Now
is
your
only
chance,
so
I
think
that's
all.
I
have
feel
free
to
ask
questions.
I
know
I
kind
of
just
like
ping-pong
that
around
but
I'll
be
here.
So
thanks
and
I'm
going
to
pass
up
eric.
G
My
name
is
eric
street,
I'm
with
residential
science
resources
here
representing
the
excel.
They
are
offering
incentives
for
rebuilding
homeowners,
fire,
effective
properties.
G
Absolutely
sorry,
there
are
five
different
incentive
tiers,
the
first
being
the
2021
iec
code.
G
This
is
for
homes
that
are
required
by
the
jurisdiction
to
build
to
the
2021
iecc
you'll
notice
that
there
are
two
incentives
for
each
of
these
tiers.
The
first
one,
the
higher
one
is
for
rebuilding
homeowners.
So
if
you
lost
your
home
in
the
fire
and
are
rebuilding
on
that
same
lot,
you
are
eligible
for
that
incentive.
The
second
lower
incentive
is
for
people
who
are
rebuilding
home
on
a
fire
destroyed
property,
but
did
not
lose
that
home.
G
G
G
Above
that
is,
does
zero
energy
ready
version
two.
This
is
still
a
draft
standard,
but
we
do
have
some
things
in
place
to
accept
this
incentive
before
they
finalize
that
standard,
and
that
incentive
is
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
These
homes
are
designed
to
be
ready
to
be
zero
energy.
At
some
point
they
don't
require
solar,
but
they
are
all
set
up
to
accept
solar,
so
they
can
be
zero
energy
rating
in
the
future.
When
you
decide
to
do
that,
the
next
is
the
energy
star
next
gen
program.
G
This
is
an
all-electric
program,
so
it
requires
electric
heating,
cooling,
water,
heating,
cooking
appliances.
All
that
I
think
it
does
still
allow
gas
fireplaces
it
does.
So
that
is
the
one
gases
you
can
have
in
those
homes.
That
incentive
is
seventeen
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
for
rebuilding
homeowners,
five
thousand
dollars
for
new
partners
and
the
top
three.
There
is
passive
house
that
incentive
is
thirty,
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
for
rebuilding
homeowners
and
fifteen
thousand
for.
G
So
the
process
for
doing
this,
it's
very
little
work
for
the
actual
homeowner
most
of
it
is
handled
through
the
builder
or
architect
or
energy
rate,
or
consultant
most
of
the
process
that
you're
going
to
be
involved
in
first
step
there
to
determine
the
desired
tier
and
find
a
builder
who
can
build.
With
that,
we
have
heard
people
saying
they've
been
having
trouble
finding
builders
who
can
build
these
because
both
of
the
energy
star
tiers
are
new
programs
that
were
just
certified
three
weeks
ago.
I
G
G
Here,
of
course,
they
know
energy
raiders.
You
know
the
builders
in
the
area
and
who's
capable
of
building
to
these
standards.
So
I
recommend
you,
you
reach
out
to
them
to
find
a
building.
You
can
build
if
you
want,
after
that.
Most
of
the
rest
of
this
is
handled
by,
as
I
said,
either
builder
architect,
energy
raider
consultant
vote
official
pre-qualification.
G
It
is
not
required
for
the
2021
icc
incentive,
it's
highly
recommended,
but
not
required
for
the
energy
star
tiers
and
the
zero
energy
ready,
and
it
is
required
for
passive
house.
So
if
you
are
building
to
one
of
those
above
code
standards,
I
highly
recommend
you,
you
talk
to
your
builder
and
make
sure
that
they
are
talking
to
prequalification
beforehand.
G
Just
so,
we
can
make
sure
that
what
they're
building
is
going
to
qualify
and
we
can
help
them
along
with
that
process
and
then,
finally,
when
the
project
is
done,
the
final
energy
inspector
consultants
come
through
and
verify
everything
is
what
it
is.
They
submit
all
the
stuff
to
us.
There
might
be
a
form
you
have
to
sign,
or
something
like
that,
but
most
of
it
will
be
filled
out.
Taken
care
of
by
those
other
parties.
Excel
is
still
finalizing
the
pre-qualification
form
and
the
submission
form.
G
Those
should
be
finalized
very
soon
here
by
this
next
meeting
I
think
they're
having
in
july.
This
is
the
next
one
of
these
sessions.
They
should
have
those
forms
finalized,
so
they
can
give
you
a
better
idea,
an
exact
workflow,
so
they
can
give
you
a
better
idea
of
the
process
for
that
and
we.
G
Building
one
of
these,
these
above
code,
tiers
as
robbie
and
frank,
were
talking
about
they're,
really
gonna
help
you
with
that
building
envelope.
Building
these
durable,
healthy,
comfortable
homes
with
lower
energy
costs
so
feel
free
to
ask
me
questions
at
the
end.
D
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
these
programs
are
so
good
because
it
gives
you
a
defined
roadmap,
basically
a
checklist
that
you
can
follow
to
be
able
to
meet
your
goals
and
really
all
of
them
all
of
them.
Get
you
to
an
ultimate
well-performing
house.
You
know
there
are
different
levels
of
performance,
but
they're
all
good
performing
houses
there.
D
So
it's
really
important
to
take
a
look
at
those,
not
only
because
there's
money
behind
them,
but
as
somebody
who
doesn't
build
houses
all
the
time
it
gives
you
that
road
map
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I'm
sorry.
The
only
other
thing
I
wanted
to
point
out
was
that
the
next
j
program
is
on
top
it's
a
program
that
takes
3.2
the
energy
to
start
3.2.
D
Both
are
really
good,
they're,
slightly
different
from
each
other,
but
you
have
to
you
need
to
realize
that
there
are
two
pathways
to
achieve
a
passive
house
and-
and
it's
important
to
know,
because
one
of
them
offers
a
prescriptive
pathway
which
might
be,
depending
on
the
form
of
your
house,
might
be
an
easier
pathway
through
that
and
to
get
that
ultimate
goal.
D
J
And
I'll
keep
it
quick
hi,
I'm
rachel,
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
additional
state
funding
and
I'm
stepping
in
for
exactly
which
you
mentioned.
So
yes,
I'm
sorry.
I
don't
talk
loud,
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
additional
state
fundings,
there's
two
bills
that
have
passed.
J
The
first
will
be
15
million
from
the
department
of
local
affairs.
The
second
will
be
20
million
to
the
colorado
energy
office,
and
they
will
provide
additional
funding
for
rebuilding
energy
efficiency
measures
and
electrification
measures
and
fire
mitigation
resources.
I
will
note
these
are
not
going
all
all
these
ones
won't
go
directly
to
the
marshall
fire.
They
are
put
in
place
for
future
disasters
as
well,
but
there
will
be
funding
allocated
to
the
marshall
fire
and
some
brand
new
news
we
just
got
this
afternoon
is
the
colorado
energy.
L
J
As
I
mentioned,
this
is
brand
new
as
of
this
afternoon,
so
we
are
still
working
on
the
final
details.
What
will
be
required
to
achieve
these
rebates
and
actually
access
them
and
all
those
things?
But
the
general
idea
is:
if
you're
going
to
be
adding
electric
elements
to
your
home
and
electrifying
it
along
with
building
to
one
of
these
incentive
levels,
then
you
can
get
an
extra
10
000
on
top
of
what
excel's
providing.
J
So
that's
another
amount
of
funding
that
can
be
put
into
it,
and
I
personally
highly
suggest
going
with
the
electrification
route
on
that
it'll,
just
bringing
off
of
what
everybody
else
discussed.
If
you
build
your
home
right,
build
a
sturdy
envelope,
then
you
can
have
a
smaller
system
and
you
can
really
run
your
home
on
electricity
and
then
hopefully
have
solar
just
to
cover
that
in
general,.
J
And
then
also
there
are
additional
discounts
if
you've
been
on
the
rebuilding
better
website.
You
might
have
seen
these
already.
These
are
discounts
your
builder
hvac
technician
and
slater.
All
of
those
people
can
take
advantage
of
when
they're
building
your
home
to
help
bring
down
the
costs
of
the
build.
So
there
are
rebates
related
to
ground,
source,
heat
or
sorry,
discounts
related
to
ground
source,
heat
pumps,
discounts
related
to
air
source,
heat
pumps,
specifically
mini
splits
as
well,
and
then
there's
also
discounts
related
to
windows.
J
I
know
we
have
an
open
window
plug
that
discount
is
actually
specific
thousand
windows
and
there
are
windows
that
were
designed
specifically
for
this
as
well.
They're
called
the
lewisville
series,
I
believe
and
they're
designed
to
be
a
passive
house
performing
window
at
the
cost
at
a
much
lower
cost
than
what
some
other
windows
would
be.
So
I
highly
recommend
looking
at
that.
What
is
the
name
again?
Alpin
a-l-p-e-n.
J
And
then
we
also
have
some
discounts
for
air
sealing
products,
a
heat,
heat
recovery,
ventilators
and
solar,
and
so
I
highly
suggest
taking
a
look
at
this,
at
least,
if
you
don't
send
your
builder
your
way,
they're
going
to
be
the
ones
that
are
likely
to
need
to
be
accessing
and
really
sourcing.
These
discounts
so
definitely
make
sure
your
builder
is
aware
of
these
and
there
may
be
more
to
come.
J
If
there's
anybody
who
knows
of
other
manufacturers
that
are
willing
to
offer
a
discount,
we
have
a
form
on
our
website
that
can
be
completed
and
then
the
last
thing
I
will
talk
about
is
induction
cooking.
I
know
it's
a
specific
electrification
measure,
it's
part
of
kind
of
the
next
gen
program.
If
you
wanted
to
access
that
additional
10
000
induction
is
a
great
resource
for
cooking
and
we
know
it's
not
as
common
as
it
could
be
around
here.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
people
are
aware
of
them.
J
J
You
have
all
the
settings,
so
you
can
really
cook
it
eliminates
that
gas,
which
has
harmful
byproducts
in
the
home,
it's
known
to
cause
asthma
and
where
I'm
getting
with
all
of
this
is,
we
are
offering
an
induction,
cooktop
lending
program
back
on
that
counter.
You're
welcome
to
check
it
out.
It's
that's
the
cooktop
that
will
be
lent
out
if
anyone's
interested.
It
allows
you
to
try
out
induction
see
if
it
works,
for
you
see
if
you
like
it
and
we'll
also
be
providing
two
pots
and
pans
that
can
work
with
it.
J
Just
so,
you
are
aware,
because
it
is
induction,
you
do
need
a
certain
type
of
pot
or
pan
generally
most
stainless
steel
works
not
all,
essentially
anything
where
a
magnet
sticks
to
the
bottom
of
your
pan
is
going
to
work
on
induction,
but
yeah.
That's
also
on
the
rebuilding
website.
We've
already
got
some
signups.
We
have
a
small
wait
list,
but
not
too
long.
So,
if
you're
interested
please
sign
up,
we
would
love
to
let
everyone
try
induction,
and
that
is
all
I
have.
C
I
G
So
with
the
excel
rebates,
it
will
either
be
a
check
or
direct
deposit.
I
believe
they
have
all
of
your
account
information,
basically
already,
but
yes,
when
the
home
is
completed,
they
will
submit
the
stuff
to
us.
We
will
verify
that
everything
we
have
everything
that's
required
and
then
they
will
either
mail
out
a
check
or
deposit
in
your
account.
Okay,.
D
F
Everybody
are
also
working
on
a
training
program
potentially
to
help
give
reduced
rates
on
trainings
for
many
of
these
programs,
hopefully
soon
we'll
have
that
figured
out.
But
you
know,
if
you
find
a
builder
and
they
are
willing
to
do
energy,
smart
or
past
house
or
whatever
we
can
hopefully
connect
them
with
the
training
so
that
they
can
at
least
like
get
some
training
on
how
to
do
these.
These
types
of
builds,
they
won't
be
so
intimidated
by
it.
G
Excel
has
hosted
a
couple
trainings
for
the
the
above
code
certification
levels
by
vpa
robbie
did
one
and
those
are
recorded
available
for
builders
they're.
D
F
B
We're
also
trying
to
find
well
we're
trying
to
put
together
a
discounted
rate
for
builders.
B
Can
someone
speak
to
the
pros
and
cons
of
mini
splits
versus,
say
you
know
traditional
air
conditioning
or
any
other
methods?
It
sounds
like
that's.
J
Closer
to
where
we
want
to
go,
I
can
speak
to
that.
So
a
mini
split
is
still
an
airsoft
heat
pump,
but
instead
of
using
ductwork,
it's
generally
going
to
be
ductless.
So
the
pros
and
cons
of
the
air
source
heat
pump
in
general
are
your
one
moving
heat
from
the
air
rather
than
creating
it.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
much
more
efficient
technology.
It
also
has
the
benefit
of
heating
and
cooling
your
home,
so
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
getting
a
secondary
ac
unit
and
mini
splits
themselves.
J
I
love
because
they
connect
as
a
zones
approach
to
your
home,
so
you
don't
have
to
heat
and
cool
the
entire
home.
You
can
heat
and
cool
certain
areas
of
the
home,
based
on
your
needs.
More
or
less.
J
No
major
drawbacks,
I
would
say
what
you
might
hear
is
that
from
people
that
there
aren't
heat
pumps
can't
work
in
cold
climates,
that's
been
a
kind
of
misnomer
for
a
little
while
the
technology
has
really
increased.
There
are
what
we
call
cold
climate
heat
pumps
now,
some
of
which
can
operate
down
to
negative
17.
But
it's
all
it
all
varies.
I
kind
of
equate
heat
pumps
to
cars
now
they
all
have
a
lot
of
different
efficiency
ratings.
J
D
But
there's
different
options
and
it's
it's
super
important
to
go
back
to
that
build
tight
and
ventilate
right
and
have
that
good
thermal
envelope,
because
your
when
you
can
reduce
the
load
on
the
house,
the
heat
pumps
work
better
and
better
for
that
and
if
you're,
specifically,
if
you're,
looking
at
mini,
split
type
heat
pumps
open
floor
plans,
often
work
work
better
with
those.
If
you
have
a
there
are
different
types
of
heat
pumps
like
like
water.
E
D
Yes,
I
appreciate
all
the
inside
emotional.
N
N
So
the
problem
is
we're
trying
to
make
decisions
now,
but
we're
not
seeing
the
economics
behind
it
and
we
haven't
even
approached
the
builder
yet
and
so
they're
not
there
to
tell
us.
We
can't
even
make
simple
decisions.
Without
do
you
have
plans
to
lay
out
the
economics,
so
all
of
these
decisions.
D
A
lot
of
work
has
been
done
on
that
before
before.
Basically,
the
covered
era
hit
and
the
covert
era
has
really
changed
the
dynamics
of
that
not
primarily.
L
D
Of
inflation
and
and
supply
chain
issues
that
are
the
result
of
what
we
we've
collectively
lived
through
here,
so
they're
they're,
sound
numbers
but
they're
old
numbers,
and
basically
it's
saying
that
getting
to
you
know,
energy
star
does
zero
energy
ready
homes
it's
about
a
five
to
seven
thousand
dollar
price
premium
from
basically
a
co.
D
You
know
code,
2018,
2021,
iecc
type
house
and
going
to
passive
houses
about
10
000
premium,
but
that's
all
really
out
the
window
now
because
of
inflation
and
whatnot,
and
so
there's
really
not
a
good
way
to
give
you
a
definitive
number
until
the
economy
is
flattened
out
and
smoothed
out,
and
it
was
arranged
I
just
I
just
did
that's
that's
what
that's
that's
the
range,
but
it's
based
off
of
kind
of
pre-pandemic
economic
situation,
but.
L
It
was
really
helpful
that
was
exactly
my
question
when
you
have
the
five
tiers
and
you
get
7
500
back
7
500
against
between
8
and
40
000
or
7
500
against
10
000
in
cost.
Exactly.
G
I
think
we
expect
the
incentives
to
cover
the
majority
of
the
incremental
cost
for
those
after
all,
five
years,
yes,
and
with
especially
now
with
the
the
all-electric
incentives
too,
if
you
were
to
layer
that
so
basically
what
she
described,
ten
thousand
dollar
grant
that
they're
giving
for
all
electric.
That's
basically
the
next
gen
program.
So
that's
a
seventeen
thousand
five
hundred
dollar
incentive
to
sell
plus
the
ten.
I
would
be
very
surprised
if
that
does
not
more
than
cover
the
cost
of
reaching.
F
D
That's
challenging,
but-
and
that's
something
to
consider
when
you
start
talking
to
your
architect
and
and
builder,
is
that
these
they're
choices
that
you
make
and
the
window
choice
is
a
huge
one.
From
from
an
energy
perspective,
you
start
getting
penalized
in
essence,
when
you
start
going
beyond
15
window
to
wall
ratio
and
so
deciding
you
know
having
a
design
criteria
that
you're
going
in
with
or
a
mindset
that
you're
going
in
with
to
say.
D
D
B
D
D
You're
not
going
to
meet
you're
you're,
probably
taking
yourself
out
of
the
ability
to
meet
any
of
these
incentives
there
with
that
that
type
of
ratio.
D
What
is
15,
you
start
getting
penalized.
You
start
getting
penalized
in
essence,
if
you're
above
15.
M
M
And
so
the
builder's,
like
I
mean
we're
a
little
bit
stuck
we're
in
an
hoa
they're,
not
letting
us
build
a
small
house.
We
kind
of
gotta
stick
to
our
original
footprint,
so
he
throws
out
something
like
well.
If
you
look
at
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
all
that
you're,
basically,
doubling
your
your
framing
kind
of
thing-
and
I
I
just
I
guess-
I'm
not
quite
tracking
with
with
the
concept
of
each
incentive-
will
cover
everything
up
front.
M
D
You
off
the
hook
here
is
that
you
need
to
have
a
hard
conversation
with
your
builder,
because
when
they're
throwing
out
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
it
just
sounds
so
way
way
off
to
me
and
that
there
are
other
solutions
than
a
double
framed
wall
out
there
to
to
be
able
to
do
it,
and
you
can
use
a
traditional
two
by
six
wall
with
continuous
exterior
insulation.
L
D
Different
systems
out
there
that
that
your
builder-
probably,
I
guess,
the
number
one
reason
we
hear
the
inflative
costs
from
builders
and
trade
partners
is
because
they're
not
experienced
with
the
materials
that
that
they
might
have
to
use
to
to
build
these
systems.
It's
not
really
the
materials.
It's
the
systems
that
they're
being
being
asked
to
use
to
this,
so
they
they
they're
building
in
this
fudge
factory
because
they
don't
necessarily
know
there.
M
C
We're
gonna
go
to
some
questions
in
from
our
virtual
attendees
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
the
so
hold
your
questions
and
we'll
come
back
to
them.
First
one
here:
can
someone
distinguish
between
the
two
different
pathways
for
the
passive
health
certification.
D
Yeah,
it's
not
that
they're
two
different
pathways!
It's
that
the
passive
house
program
was
originally
developed
in
europe
in
germany,
specifically
when
it
came
to
the
united
states.
D
M
D
Are
the
same
and
they're
just
slightly
different
how
they're
reaching
that
ultimate
goal
there,
and
so
there's
the
passivhaus
institute
us
or
fies
group
and
there's
the
phi
or
european
food
they're,
both
very
good.
They
both
are
basically
doing
the
same
thing
but
they're
achieving
that
goal
slightly
differently.
C
J
So
there
are
issues
with
that.
There
is,
and
that's
something
I
neglected
to
mention
that
that
is
a
concern.
So
if
there
are
any
pacemakers
things
like
that,
it
is
something
to
take
into
consideration
with
the
induction
at
each
cooktop
is
different,
but
yes,
that
is,
that
is
something
to
be
aware
of,
and
something
to
look
into
before
purchasing
with
your
cooktop
okay.
J
Out,
no,
not
necessarily
I'd
have
to
get
back
to
you
with
further
details
on
it,
but
my
understanding
there's
a
very
minimal
risk
and
it's
very
dependent.
So
I
I
don't
have
the
exact
documentation
on
me
right
now,
but
I
I
can
get.
C
Back
to
you
with
it
too
I'll
make
sure
that
we
include
that
question
and
a
follow-up
we're
going
to
send
out
a
follow-up
q
a
to
everyone
that
attended
and
everyone
that
registered
online.
So
we'll
include
that
how
many
heat
pumps
would
be
required
if
there
is
no
duct
work
in
the
home.
D
Yeah,
so
the
question
was
how
many
heat
pumps
are
needed
for
your
home
and
it
depends
on
the
size
of
your
home.
But
the
reality
is
that.
D
In
essence,
you're
using
one
heat
pump
with
multiple
heads
that
can
attach
to
that
heat
pump.
So
you
have
the
heat
pump.
Think
of
the
heat
pump
as
your
air
conditioning
coil,
that's
sitting
outside
your
current,
your
old
house.
That's
that's
the
heat
pump
unit
you
can
on
most
of
these
units.
You
can
attach
multiple
heads
usually
up
to
four
or
six
heads
to
that.
So
depending.
B
D
The
size
of
your
house,
you
might
need
two
of
those
outside
units,
if
you're,
using
this
ductless
model
that
that
rachel
was
talking
about
if
you're,
using
a
ducted
model.
You'll
probably
only
have
one
of
those
boxes
out
there,
because
it
will
be
sized
that
box
will
be
sized
properly
to
be
doing.
And
then,
if
you
have
ground
source
heat
bumps,
it's
dependent
on
the
number
of
wells
that
you're
you're
drilling
for
that
type.
C
Next,
could
someone
speak
to
the
idea
that
heat
pumps
don't
work
well
on
cold
days,
they
become
inefficient
and
they
become
expensive
to
run
in
the
cold.
G
So
cold
climate
heat
pumps,
now
technology
is
improved
a
lot
and
issues.
G
J
Zero
degrees,
I'd
like
also
like
to
point
out.
I
think
it's
really
important
a
lot
of
what
the
information
that
people
have
on
heat
pumps
and
the
feedback
that
they're
providing
is
when
they
put
a
heat
pump
into
their
existing
home.
That
was
maybe
built
in
the
70s.
It's
very
different
when
you're
putting
a
heat
pump
into
a
brand
new
home
that
was
built
very
tight
and
designed
for
this
heat
pump,
because
it's
going
to
operate
a
lot
more
efficiently
a
lot
more
effectively.
J
It's
the
homes
that
we're
trying
to
retrofit
a
heat
pump
in
that's
not
well
insulated.
It's
got
like
a
ton
of
corners.
All
of
that
those
are
the
ones
where
the
heat
pumps
really
have
more
trouble
like
it's
still
possible,
but
with
a
new
home
heat
pumps
can
work
really
effectively
without
much
effort.
K
J
Yeah
and
we
actually
so
that
the
rebuilding
water
better
website
that
equipment
discount
related
to
ground
source
heat
pumps,
it
does
note
specific
companies
manufacturers
for
those.
There
also
are
companies
that
are
out
there.
I
can
provide
a
list
there's
a
small.
J
Energy
that
offers
for
grantsource
heat
contractors
that
I
can
share
with
you.
There
may
also
be
your
builder
architect
designer
they
may
have
people
in
mind.
If
you
mention
this
as
well.
J
E
J
E
J
F
I
think
the
other
thing
to
think
about
too
is
like
it's
helpful.
If
you
have
someone
who
can
help
you
with
making
some
of
these
decisions,
because
sometimes
you
go
in
thinking
like
I
want
geothermal,
but
sometimes
it's
just
not
the
best
for
your
situation,
whether
it's
just
like
a
geothermal
system
is
just
oversized
for
your.
You
know
it's
just
not
worth
the
money
for
your
build,
or
maybe
it
doesn't
work
because
you
have
mines
or
whatever
the
situation
may
be.
It's
like.
Maybe
don't
just
don't
hold
on
too
tight
to
one
specific
idea.
J
I
will
add
there
was
a
really
helpful
presentation
that
was
put
on
that
webinar
that
was
recorded.
That
is
now
linked
on
the
rebuilding
better
website
under
the
events
and
trainings
page
that
discusses
that
they
were
very
well
specific,
just
fyi,
but
it
does
discuss
that
and
actually
brings
up
the
mind
issue
as
well.
L
D
Yeah
I
wish
they
you
can,
but
I
don't
know
if
the
jurisdictions
will
allow
it
there.
There
are
communities
that
have
common
wells
and
distribute
it,
but
that
was
designed
as
a
community.
So
I
think
it
might
be
a
question
for.
L
C
I'm
not
sure
I
think
I
believe
it
was
one
time
and
it's
for
disasters
dating
back
to
2018,
so
there's
other
other
disaster
recovery
than
just
martial
fire,
but
there's
a
specific
amount.
That's
allocated,
yes,.
I
I
D
The
first
thing
is
that
no
one's
telling
you
you
have
to
go
all
electric
they're
they're,
definitely
incentivizing
you
into.
I
think
it
was
frank's
point.
It
is
the
direction
that
the
industry
is
going,
that
that
municipalities
are
trying
to
move
that
way
to
the
direction
that
excel
energy
is
moving.
So
there
are
ways
to
mitigate
your
resistance
or
in
essence,
fear
about
being
without
power.
There's
battery
backup,
there's
there's!
D
You
know
that's
in
conjunction
with
solar
on
your
roof,
there's
building
to
a
passive
house
standard
or
or
beyond,
so
that
your
house
can
swing
through
a
down
period.
It's
very
unlikely
that
you're
gonna
be
down
for
a
month.
You
might
be
down
for
a
week,
but
we
there's
there's
direct
evidence
that
what
happened
in
texas,
a
year
or
two
ago,
with
the
deep
freeze
that
happened
there,
their
houses
that
were
built
to
these
standards
that
were
able
to
swing
through
that
and
not
not
a
pipe
broke.
D
They
were
able
to
maintain
comfort
in
that
house.
Yes,
it's
reduced
a
little
bit.
You
might
have
to
put
on
a
sweater,
but
there
are
techniques
to
be
able
to
swing
through
that
with
regards
to
radon
and
house
tightness,
there
are
two
separate
issues
you
want
to
build
your
house
tight
and
and
ventilate
it
right
for
that's
to
gain,
control
and
predictability
in
the
air
that
also.
B
D
To
stop
the
radon
from
coming
into
the
house,
because
air
comes
air
leaves
and
air
has
to
be
replaced
to
keep
that
constant
volume
of
air
in
that
house.
D
So
radon
is
coming
up
and
it's
a
requirements
code
requirement
now
that
you
have
at
least
a
passive
radon
system
in
your
house,
which
would
be
basically
poly
underneath
your
slab,
your
basement
slab,
for
example,
and
a
pipe
that
goes
to
a
gravel
base
underneath
that
poly
all
the
way
to
the
roof
of
your
house,
the
highest
peak
of
your
house
there
and
passively
just
because
air
warms
and
rises.
It
will
take
that
radon
directly
through
your
house
and
to
the
outside.
D
You
can,
if,
if
you
did
test
it,
there
was
an
elevated
level
because
of
your
specific
location,
you
can
put
a
fan
on
it
and
and
basically
pump
that
air
out
from
underneath
your
foundation,
so
that
you
don't
have
a
radon
issue
inside
your
house,
but
that
is
the
code.
Now
they
have
to
do
that.
It
is
a
choice
risk
in
most
churches.
I'd
have
to
double
check
here,
but
most
jurisdictions
haven't
amended
that
out
that
I'm
aware.
C
I
have
a
few
questions
here
for
excel
energy.
If,
then,
if
everyone
goes
fully,
electric
does
xl
have
the
infrastructure
on
the
ground
to
handle
the
load.
C
And
when
would
a
resident
get
the
incentive
money
from
excel?
Is
it
upon
completion.
G
J
The
only
discounts
for
induction
cooktops
right
now
are
what
are
built
in
to
kind
of
the
rebate
packages
the
rebate
package
through
excel,
which
would
mostly
align
with
that
energy
star.
Next
gen
certification,
it's
been
previously
called
new
certification
until
it
got
a
name
that
it
requires
induction.
So
that's
kind
of
considered
more
of
a
package
deal
similar
to
that
ten
thousand
dollars.
That
was
just
announced,
it's
not
specific
to
induction,
but
it
is
something
that's
part
of
a
whole
home
electrification
package
which
would
include
induction.
C
Yes,
okay,
last
one
here:
what
performance
metrics
should
we
be
asking
our
builders
for.
D
Well,
I
I
would
say
the
first
one
is
one
of
these
incentive
programs
is
a
great
way
to
create
a
metric
that
that
your
builder
needs
to
achieve.
You
can
go
beyond
that
by
specifying
a
energy
rating
index
score
that
you
want
to
achieve.
Then
you
can
go
to
resnet.us
to
learn
more
about
energy
rating
index
scores.
D
G
And
the
the
energy
star
v32
zero
energy,
ready
and
energy
star
next
gen
all
involved
an
eri
which
is
a
performance
metric.
F
H
D
So
a
builder
has
to
partner
with
the
energy
star
program
and
partnering
is,
is
basically
a
two-hour
kind
of
webinar
based
training,
and
then
they
can
seek
out
additional
trainings
through
the
green
building
guild
or
their
energy
rater.
Their
energy
consultant
that
they
might
work
with
is
a
great
source
of
training
for
them.
F
It's
there
are
many
trainings,
it's
usually
a
several
day
program,
but
not
necessarily
everyone
has
to
be
trained.
H
D
So
for
for
passive
house,
specifically,
the
builder
doesn't
have
to
be
it's
beneficial
if
they
are,
but
the
only
requirement
is
that
you
work
with
a
certified
passive
house
consultant
and
there
are
a
lot
of
them.
You
can
go
to
these
they're
a
lot
in
colorado
and
then
that
you
work
with
a
certified
passive
house
raider.
C
We're
going
to
take
one
more
question
with
the
full
group
and
then
feel
free
to
stick
around.
Our
experts
will
stay
here
to
answer
your
questions,
but
we're
going
to
release
everyone
else
if,
if
they're
interested
in
staying
feel
free
to
stay
but
but
you're
free
to
leave
but
we'll
take
this.
D
Yeah,
so
a
lot
of
the
programs
have
the
builders
that
have
partnered
with
that
with
the
program
on
their
website,
and
some
of
them
will
list
the
number
of
homes
that
they've
built
to
that
program
and
certified
to
that
program.
But
there
is
no
certification.
You
know
there
is
no
continuing
education
program,
there's
no
true
certification
for
the
for
builder
builders
and
builders,
building
contractors.
G
To
ask
ask
those
questions
and
that's
why
to
push
them
like
pre
qualification,
it
excellent
where
the
precise
resources
we
can
help
them
make
sure
they
know
the
requirements.
D
Anybody
that's
listed
on
on
energy
star's
website
should
not
have
a
problem
doing
the
3.2
program
per
month.
F
B
J
D
I
think
there
is
a
resource
already
on
the
website,
but
I
I'm
trying
to
bolster
it,
which
is
basically
questions
that
you
can
ask
your
builder
and
and
architect
as
you're,
starting
to
interview
and
search
for
those,
so
that
you,
you
know
you
don't
have
to
be
a
building
science
expert.
But
but
I
think,
if
you
ask
these
questions,
you
would
have
a
good
idea
of
their
ability
to
carry
out
your
objectives.
C
We're
gonna
stop
there
for
group
questions.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
tonight.
Please
take
a
minute
fill
out
the
comment
cards.
You
can
turn
them
in
the
bag
and
our
experts
will
stay
here
in
case.
Anyone
has
more
specific
questions
that
they'd
like
answered
but
feel
free
to
head
out,
and
thank
you
to
everyone
that
tuned
in
on
zoom
tonight.
