Zero Energy Ready Homes can save a bundle for their home owners and they don’t have to break the bank for home builders either. This presentation includes lessons learned from builders across the country who are building award-winning production, custom, affordable, and multi-family homes that achieve remarkably high performance levels, in some cases at little extra cost compared to code construction.

Companies in the building industry are under increased pressure to drive sales growth and ROI, even with elevated costs for materials, labor, and the like. How can you methodically develop the right strategic, business, and / or marketing plans to meet these challenges, while ensuring you engage and align key stakeholders along the way?

The Rise Sustainable Real Estate Professional accredited online course provides real estate professionals with a competitive advantage by being able to identify and communicate the benefits of sustainable homes in the market. In 2016, the Shelton Group conducted a survey that found 81% of people who expect to buy a new home in the next two years say higher energy efficiency would cause them to choose one home over another and that they would be willing to pay more for a healthier home. In this 3-hour course, learn to increase buyer demand for healthy, energy efficient, and comfortable homes.
