MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
Many aspects of building design, construction and operation can affect the health and comfort of the people in the building. Three particular areas which can affect this are the flow of air, heat and moisture. This session is designed to help improve moisture control in new homes compared to homes built to minimum code.
We will utilize the Version 2.5/3 ENERGY STAR® Water Management Checklist materials that include water-managed site and foundation, water-managed wall assembly, water-managed roof assembly, and water-managed building materials.

SELLING HIGH PERFORMANCE HOMES - FOR REALTOR, SALES AGENTS, & BUILDERS
Learn how Realtors can help their clients understand the value of ENERGY STAR® and HERS labeled homes and get the full value of their high performance home. Americans are increasingly aware of the ENERGY STAR® label and HERS Index Scale. Realtors and sales teams have the unique opportunity to let prospective homebuyers know about the benefits of owning a comfortable and energy-efficient home.
Participants will learn about the features of the HERS label and ENERGY STAR® certification, and understand the market for high performance homes. They'll learn the basics of building science that make these homes more comfortable and less expensive to live in. They'll also be given tips for talking to clients, financiers and appraisers about the value of an ENERGY STAR® or Energy-Saving New Home, and how a high performance home outperforms a typical new or existing home on the market making it a more cost-effective home purchase.
This hands-on training includes workshops that help sales teams:
- Evaluate and Understand Each Customer
- Fulfill the Customer's Needs
- Demonstrate the Performance Features of the Home
- Obtain Buy-In
- Conduct a Financial Analysis
Close the deal by showing your customers that they can get all the energy-efficient features in an ENERGY STAR® qualified or HERS labeled home, and afford it, too!
