High Performance Home Site Visit Training Videos

BetterBuiltNW & Earth Advantage invite you to experience in-field, on-demand virtual High Performance Home Site Visits with industry leaders showcasing their high-performance building projects. Normally offered as an in-person on-site tour, this video series gives participants the opportunity to go behind the walls of three under-construction homes and learn how builders achieved third-party certifications and advanced building performance.

Click here for a brief two-minute training preview.

Each of the three videos offer a 90-minute online guided tour of under-construction homes that have achieved a variety of third-party certifications and performance levels:

• ENERGY STAR® Single-Family Affordable Housing Townhome
• ZERO ENERGY READY Single-Family Spec Home
• ZERO ENERGY Custom-Built Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)

Take advantage of the opportunity to hear tips from the builders themselves, their project teams, energy raters, and our instructors as they explore the design details and construction practices that go into these homes and learn how they communicate features and benefits to homebuyers. Participants will learn design principles and construction practices that can be integrated into their building process, as demonstrated by the following training participant testimonials:
