Wall Assemblies Including the REMOTE Wall System
Walls and roofs account for a significant amount of energy loss in buildings. Applying rigid foam to the outside of the building shell dramatically increases R-value while reducing thermal conduction. What are the challenges of retrofitting existing homes with this application? How would you install 4"-6" of rigid foam on an existing building shell with readily available materials? How would you handle windows and doors? How would you apply siding? This session will cover the nuts and bolts of rigid foam application on existing buildings, from product choices to installation and will include hands-on demonstrations.

Passive Solar with Compressed Earth Blocks
Learn how to design and build walls that take advantage of passive solar heat gain. We'll use a demonstration wall to show construction methods and details for building walls that incorporate thermal mass, insulation and air sealing to create a wall that assists in heating a home. Learn about the importance of thermal mass in passive design, construction materials for high mass walls, energy performance of these walls and the advantages of building homes that incorporate solar energy as part of their design.
