SUMMARY:Green Tour kickoff with Keynote Speaker\, Sam Rashkin
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the Green Tour! with US Department of Energy’s Chief Architect of the Building Technology Office\, Sam Rashkin\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nHigh-performance home advocates couldn’t be more passionate. Sharing that passion has always proven difficult because the benefits of high-performance homes are invisible to most consumers. This conversation is too important and too easy not to get right.\n\nJoin us to hear from Sam Rashkin as he shares his insight from his 25 years in field overseeing the certification of over 1 million ENERGY STAR homes. He’ll show us opportunities that are often overlooked to connect with consumers to demonstrate the value of high-performance homes.\n\n\n\nMeet the Speaker:\n\n\nAs Chief Architect for the Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office\, Sam’s primary role is leading deployment of proven innovations for new and existing high-performance homes. In his prior position\, he managed the growth of ENERGY STAR for Homes from its inception in 1996 to more than 8\,000 builder partners\, over one million labeled homes\, and over 25 percent market penetration nationwide. During his 20-plus years as a licensed architect\, he specialized in energy efficient design and completed over 100 residential projects. He has served on the national Steering Committees for USGBC’s LEED for Homes\, NAHB’s Green Builder Guidelines\, and U.S. EPA’s Water Sense and Indoor airPLUS labels. Mr. Rashkin is a published author and has been recognized for his contributions to sustainable housing with the 2012 Hanley Award and 2019 EEBA Legend Award.\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our presenting sponsor\, Energy Trust of Oregon with additional support from E2 Solar\, Miller Lumber\, Saginaw Sunset\, Stemach Design + Architecture\, and Earth Advantage.

SUMMARY:Remodeling for Efficiency and Comfort
DESCRIPTION:This is panel second of seven panel discussions exploring topics related to and sites on the 2020 Green Tour. Visit the full schedule here.\n\n\nOur current housing stock has the potential to be more efficient\, healthier\, and more comfortable. Here’s how to do it.\n\nRegister here\n\n\nAn energy efficient home does not just refer to newly built homes. It is important to remember that there are an astounding number of homes in our current housing stock that have the potential to be more efficient\, healthier\, and more comfortable. Even homes that were built within the last few years can have major issues that will impact their efficiency and long-term durability.\n\n\nIf we are going to create a community where everyone can afford to pay their utility bills and have safe indoor air quality\, then we have to take a deep look at how we upgrade our existing housing stock.\n\n\nJoin us to learn about three local homes that have undergone various energy upgrades from insulation\, to airsealing to solar. They all took on some DIY projects and also turned to the pros on other projects. We’ll hear about how they decided which projects to do\, which to tackle themselves\, and how those projects are impacting their everyday lives now. We’ll be joined by home performance contractor\, GreenSavers to learn more about energy assessments and deep retrofits\, E2 Solar to hear what it’s like to go solar on an existing home and how to know if your home is a good fit for solar\, and building envelope specialist\, NW Aerobarrier.\n\n\nMeet our panelists \n\nJamie & Josh Harbick\, Homeowners\n\n\nMegan Cummings\, Senior Home Performance Consultant\, GreenSavers\n\n\nMichelle Porter\, Homeowner\n\n\nMike Hewitt\, Vice President\, E2 Solar\n\n\nPeter Grube\, Partner\, Northwest Aerobarrier\n\n\nRobert Hammerly\, Principal\, GreenSavers\n\n\n\nThank you to our presenting sponsor\, Energy Trust of Oregon with additional support from E2 Solar\, Miller Lumber\, Saginaw Sunset\, Stemach Design + Architecture\, and Earth Advantage.
