This is the second course that I've taken with Marc (I'd taken his Zero Net Energy Homes course previously), and the superlative quality of Marc's instruction and assembled materials were entirely consistent with his ZNE course. I highly recommend Marc's courses.
This course is excellent. We need to make big changes to reduce energy demands in our changing world. Retrofitting existing homes is a really important part of that. This class will help building professionals do just that - the important work of our industry.
If you are interested in the future of energy conservation in the built environment, this is a great starting point.
Let me come back to this...
This is an excellent course for anyone interested in building or designing buildings with a high level of thermal and energy performance, particularly if you work in existing buildings. The instructor has a wealth of practical knowledge to share and the Heatspring team does a wonderful job supporting the course.
Anyone interested in obtain a good foundation in DER should start right here with Marc and HeatSpring.
This is the second course of his that I have taken, that should tell you something. Marc is on the cutting edge of Net Zero and DER design. He covers all aspects that are needed for a complete design of the technical engineering aspects.
Marc's wealth of knowledge and years of field experience create an unparalleled learning experience. Seldom does anyone so truly walk the walk they talk.
Marc is a true Master of doing Deep Energy Retrofits. His ability to breakdown concepts and deliver each topic in simple terms makes this course easy to understand. It is great for licensed professionals and contractors who want to expand their knowledge and businesses. It is also fun for ordinary folks who just like houses. It's for everyone who wants a low energy, super comfortable home.
Marc knows his stuff. Building science is ever evolving, yet Marc describes the basics and their real world applications in great detail. Building smart means saving energy dollars down the road. Marc lives and breathes these ideas and shows simple ways to implement them in everyday construction.
Great class to bring you up to speed on net zero energy houses and how to build them.
M.R. cuts thru the obfuscation of the Zero Net Energy Home conundrum like a finely honed hardened steel cleaver arcing thru the air and slicing thru a piece of nice warm brie, effortlessly getting to the heart of the matter.......only with a lot less mess!
Only the comments above, for now. Thank you.
I would recommend this course to anyone interested in sustainable architecture.
The Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) course was fun. This course helped me understand complex DER concepts in a comprehensive and understandable matter. Building science is awesome!
Feel free to use comment above if you'd like.
Every person, no matter what experience, degrees, or status, interested in high performance housing should take this course
My final project was never reviewed. I was disappointed in the lack of feedback on this.
