About This Course

Discover the path to creating truly energy-neutral living spaces in Net Zero Homes: Integrating Efficient Technologies. Presented by sustainable builder Jeremy Spencer, this course moves beyond the thermal shell of the building to focus on the active systems and appliances that consume energy. By integrating efficient technologies with high-performance design, you will learn how to transform a standard house into a Net Zero or even Carbon Positive home.

As the construction industry moves towards stricter energy mandates, understanding the Whole of Home approach is essential. This course guides you through the National Construction Code requirements, specifically focusing on the NatHERS Whole of Home software and protocols. You will gain insights into how energy ratings are calculated, how to interpret the data to drive efficient designs, and the practical steps required to offset energy use through renewable generation.

Key learning outcomes include:

  • Mastering the Whole of Home software protocols to satisfy compliance and optimize energy scores.
  • Strategies for selecting high-efficiency fixed appliances, including reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water systems, LED lighting, and induction cooking.
  • Techniques for sizing and specifying Photovoltaic (PV) systems to achieve Net Zero operational energy.
  • Understanding the integration of future-ready technologies, such as electric vehicle (EV) charging, battery storage, and vehicle-to-grid resilience.

Whether you are a builder, designer, or energy assessor, this course provides the technical knowledge needed to reduce carbon emissions and minimize household running costs. Join us to master the balance between energy consumption and generation, ensuring your projects are healthy, comfortable, and environmentally responsible.
